Mcrs1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and telomerase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of protein localization to nucleolus; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of DNA metabolic process. Located in dendrite and perikaryon. Orthologous to human MCRS1 (microspherule protein 1). [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 Mcrs1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
