Nsmf Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in cellular response to gonadotropin stimulus. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; liver; lung; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 7 with or without anosmia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 9 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human NSMF (NMDA receptor synaptonuclear signaling and neuronal migration factor). [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 Nsmf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
