Dmtn Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell-substrate adhesion; negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; and negative regulation of protein targeting to membrane. Located in several cellular components, including cortical cytoskeleton; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and postsynaptic density. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; liver lobe; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DMTN (dematin actin binding protein).

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