Kng1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; hormone activity; and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide; negative regulation of blood coagulation; and vasodilation. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary angioedema and high molecular weight kininogen deficiency. Orthologous to human KNG1 (kininogen 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Kng1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- kininogen light chain domain
- CY
- cysteine protease inhibitor activity
- protease binding
- factor XI binding domain
- hormone
