Krit1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in cell redox homeostasis; negative regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of establishment of cell polarity. Located in cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; eye; and reproductive system. Used to study cerebral cavernous malformation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral cavernous malformation and cerebral cavernous malformation 1. Orthologous to human KRIT1 (KRIT1 ankyrin repeat containing).

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 Krit1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
