Mos Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables MRF binding activity; protein serine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; meiotic cell cycle process involved in oocyte maturation; and spermatocyte division. Located in cytosol. Orthologous to human MOS (MOS proto-oncogene, serine/threonine 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 Mos often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
