Creb3l4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes a CREB (cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding) protein with a transmembrane domain which localizes it to the ER membrane. The encoded protein may play a role in adiposity and male germ cell development. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene show increased adipogenesis, elevated testicular germ cell apoptosis and defects in spermatogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

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 Creb3l4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
