Brinp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in cellular response to retinoic acid; central nervous system development; and negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; maternal behavior; and protein stabilization. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; submandibular gland primordium; and urogenital sinus. Used to study attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human BRINP1 (BMP/retinoic acid inducible neural specific 1).

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 Brinp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
