Corin Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including peptide hormone processing; regulation of renal sodium excretion; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by atrial natriuretic peptide. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including floor plate; heart; jaw; phalanx; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; hypertension; and pre-eclampsia. Orthologous to human CORIN (corin, serine peptidase).

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