Pdlim5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable actin binding activity; muscle alpha-actinin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization; cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and regulation of synapse organization. Located in Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb mesenchyme; and musculoskeletal system. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human PDLIM5 (PDZ and LIM domain 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pdlim5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
