Pappa Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein catabolic process; proteolysis; and response to dexamethasone. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb; and paraxial mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human PAPPA (pappalysin 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 Pappa often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
