Nid1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables collagen binding activity and laminin-1 binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion; glomerular basement membrane development; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human NID1 (nidogen 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 Nid1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
