Fxyd5

This gene encodes a precursor protein that is member of the FXYD family of transmembrane glycoproteins. Like most members of the FXYD family, the encoded protein is a subunit of the sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase pump. FXYD family members have tissue-specific expression and differentially regulate the activity of this pump. The protein encoded by this gene also plays a role in cell adhesion and motility. The orthologous human protein inhibits epithelial cadherin, a calcium-dependent adhesion protein and is associated with cancer (promotes metastasis). Alternative splicing of this mouse gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

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 Fxyd5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
