Septin8 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable GTPase activity; SNARE binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of SNARE complex assembly; regulation of intracellular protein transport; and regulation of protein stability. Located in myelin sheath. Part of septin complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; cochlea; dermis; testis; and turbinate bone primordium. Orthologous to human SEPTIN8 (septin 8).

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 Septin8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
