Pdcl Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within heterotrimeric G-protein complex assembly and visual perception. Predicted to be located in cilium. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human PDCL (phosducin like). [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 Pdcl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
