Hgs Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables identical protein binding activity and ubiquitin-modified protein reader activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lysosomal transport; negative regulation of signal transduction; and positive regulation of exosomal secretion. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; limb bud; sensory organ; and spinal component of peripheral nervous system. Orthologous to human HGS (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate). [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 Hgs often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
