Sell Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to ATP. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; brainstem; submandibular gland epithelium; and testis. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crohn's disease; IgA glomerulonephritis; and ulcerative colitis. Orthologous to human SELL (selectin L).

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