Clps

This gene encodes a member of the colipase family of coenzymes that is required for the optimal activity of pancreatic lipase. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature polypeptide that binds to the lipase and prevents inhibition by bile acids. Over half of the mice lacking the encoded protein die within two weeks of birth while the remaining ones exhibit fat malabsorption and altered body weight regulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

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