Prap1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables triglyceride binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to X-ray; positive regulation of intestinal lipid absorption; and positive regulation of lipid transport. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including female reproductive system; intestine; and lower jaw. Orthologous to human PRAP1 (proline rich acidic protein 1). [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 Prap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
