Kdelr1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable KDEL sequence binding activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell apoptotic process and T cell differentiation. Located in cis-Golgi network and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human KDELR1 (KDEL endoplasmic reticulum protein retention receptor 1).

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 Kdelr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
