About Morc1

Summary

Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; gamete generation; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is active in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in esophagus; head mesenchyme; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Used to study endogenous depression. Orthologous to human MORC1 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
