Ccn5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell growth. Located in extracellular space; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; long bone epiphyseal plate; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human CCN5 (cellular communication network factor 5). [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 Ccn5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- von Willebrand factor type C domain
- integrin binding
- protein binding
- Spondin-like TSP1 domain
- Insulin-like growth factor binding protein
- growth factor
