CNOT codes for CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 7 which is a protein with almost 33 kDa (32,745 Da - isoform 1). It is a rna binding protein with hydrolase, molecular adaptor, catalytic and transcription regulator activities. It is involved in immune system processes, regulation of dna-templated transcription, mrna metabolic processes, signaling and silencing of regulatory ncrna-mediated genes.
