Prom1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable actinin binding activity; cadherin binding activity; and cholesterol binding activity. Involved in camera-type eye photoreceptor cell differentiation and retina layer formation. Located in several cellular components, including brush border; photoreceptor outer segment; and prominosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; intestine; and neural ectoderm. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 41. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 12; retinal macular dystrophy 2; and retinitis pigmentosa 41. Orthologous to human PROM1 (prominin 1).

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 mouse Prom1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
