Scin Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin polymerization or depolymerization; positive regulation of megakaryocyte differentiation; and regulation of actin filament organization. Located in brush border. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; female reproductive system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and metanephros. Orthologous to human SCIN (scinderin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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