UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: CTC1_MOUSE (Q5SUQ9)
Gene Name: Ctc1
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Function: Component of the CST complex, a complex that binds to single-stranded DNA and is required to protect telomeres from DNA degradation. The CST complex binds single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner, while isolated subunits bind DNA with low affinity by themselves. In addition to telomere protection, the CST complex has probably a more general role in DNA metabolism at non-telomeric sites.
Other Modifications: View all modification sites in dbPTM
Protein Subcellular Localization: Nucleus. Chromosome, telomere. Note=A transmembrane region is predicted by sequence analysis tools (ESKW, MEMSAT and Phobius); however, given the telomeric localization of the protein, the relevance of the transmembrane region is unsure in vivo.
