| Human Protein Atlas | GEMIN1 |
| N-terminal Domain | Contains the binding site for the SMN protein, enabling formation of the core SMN-GEMIN1 heterodimer |
| Central Region | Houses the GEMIN1-specific domain that distinguishes this protein from other SMN complex components |
| C-terminal Region | Contains multiple WD40 repeat motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions with other SMN complex members and with snRNA/Sm proteins |
| Cytoplasmic Phase | Initial assembly of the SMN complex occurs in the cytoplasm where it interacts with newly transcribed snRNA and importin-mediated transport |
| Nuclear Phase | The complex localizes to Cajal bodies (also called gemini of coiled bodies), which are nuclear organelles involved in snRNP maturation and recycling |
| mRNA Transport | SMN-GEMIN complexes are involved in the transport of specific mRNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm |
