Cylc1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including acrosome assembly; maintenance of cell number; and single fertilization. Predicted to be located in cytoskeletal calyx and sperm head. Predicted to be active in acrosomal matrix; acrosomal membrane; and perinuclear theca. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked spermatogenic failure 8. Orthologous to human CYLC1 (cylicin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Cylc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
