Mcidas Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including multi-ciliated epithelial cell differentiation; organelle assembly; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within seminiferous tubule development; single fertilization; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 42. Orthologous to human MCIDAS (multiciliate differentiation and DNA synthesis associated cell cycle protein).

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 Mcidas often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- coiled-coil domain found in the geminin family
- coiled-coil domain
- protein binding
