Fhod1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of centrosome localization and nuclear migration. Located in intercalated disc. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; metanephros; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FHOD1 (formin homology 2 domain containing 1). [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 Fhod1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
