Unc119 Gene Summary [Mouse]
The protein encoded by this gene is multifunctional, affecting trafficking of transducin in rod photoreceptors, interacting with src-type tyrosine kinases through SH2 and SH3 interacting domains, and aiding the uptake of bacteria through endocytosis. In addition, the encoded protein acts as a lipid-binding chaperone to help localize some myristoylated proteins correctly. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

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 Unc119 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
