Ecm1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables interleukin-2 receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of bone mineralization; regulation of type 2 immune response; and skeletal system development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; autopod; bone; cardiovascular system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lipoid proteinosis. Orthologous to human ECM1 (extracellular matrix 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 Ecm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
