ATRN Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes both membrane-bound and secreted protein isoforms. A membrane-bound isoform exhibits sequence similarity with the mouse mahogany protein, a receptor involved in controlling obesity. A secreted isoform is involved in the initial immune cell clustering during inflammatory responses that may regulate the chemotactic activity of chemokines. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

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 human ATRN often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Galactose oxidase, central domain
  • Kelch motif
  • Plexin repeat
  • signaling receptor activity
  • CUB
  • C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
  • Lectin C-type domain
  • protein binding
