Nkiras1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables GTPase activating protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Ral protein signal transduction; lung alveolus development; and surfactant homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human NKIRAS1 (NFKB inhibitor interacting Ras like 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 Nkiras1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
