Srm Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and spermidine synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ear; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human SRM (spermidine synthase).

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