Sav1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; and transcription regulator activator activity. Involved in hippo signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of keratinocyte apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Used to study colonic disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human SAV1 (salvador family WW domain containing protein 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 Sav1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
