Dbh

Predicted to enable copper ion binding activity and dopamine beta-monooxygenase activity. Involved in catecholamine metabolic process; locomotory behavior; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; homoiothermy; and learning or memory. Located in secretory granule lumen and secretory granule membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; and nervous system. Used to study dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency; hypertension; and migraine with aura. Orthologous to human DBH (dopamine beta-hydroxylase). [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 Dbh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.
