Pecam1

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity; protein phosphatase binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Located in several cellular components, including cell-cell contact zone; external side of plasma membrane; and smooth muscle contractile fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease; coronary stenosis; myocardial infarction; neuroblastoma; and psoriatic arthritis. Orthologous to human PECAM1 (platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Pecam1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
