AMIGO1 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable potassium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and nervous system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of synapse assembly. Predicted to be located in dendrite and neuronal cell body membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to colocalize with voltage-gated potassium channel complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 AMIGO1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
