Mnat1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of CAK-ERCC2 complex; transcription factor TFIIH core complex; and transcription factor TFIIK complex. Orthologous to human MNAT1 (MNAT1 component of CDK activating kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Mnat1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
