Mzb1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in several processes, including integrin activation; positive regulation of immunoglobulin production; and regulation of B cell proliferation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and extracellular region. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Orthologous to human MZB1 (marginal zone B and B1 cell specific protein). [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 Mzb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
