Cavin1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables rRNA primary transcript binding activity. Involved in DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of cell motility; and protein secretion. Located in caveola; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; head mesenchyme; pancreas vasculature; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 and pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4. Orthologous to human CAVIN1 (caveolae associated protein 1). [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 Cavin1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
