Nid1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable collagen binding activity; laminin-1 binding activity; and proteoglycan binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion; glomerular basement membrane development; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Orthologous to human NID1 (nidogen 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 Nid1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
