Majin Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis and meiotic attachment of telomere to nuclear envelope. Predicted to act upstream of or within double-strand break repair involved in meiotic recombination; oogenesis; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be active in nuclear inner membrane. Orthologous to human MAJIN (membrane anchored junction 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 Majin often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
