Boc Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in positive regulation of myoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in growth cone and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BOC (BOC cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated). [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 Boc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
