Lrp12 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; integrin activation; and lymphocyte migration into lymphoid organs. Predicted to be located in clathrin-coated pit. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in nervous system; renal vasculature; sensory organ; and turbinate bone primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 28 and oculopharyngodistal myopathy 1. Orthologous to human LRP12 (LDL receptor related protein 12).

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 Lrp12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
