Olfm4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity and structural molecule activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction and negative regulation of immune response. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in bone marrow; colon; intestine; metanephros; and small intestine. Orthologous to human OLFM4 (olfactomedin 4). [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 Olfm4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
