Mpdz Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in dendrite development and intracellular protein transport. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion. Located in several cellular components, including Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; apical plasma membrane; and bicellular tight junction. Part of subapical complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human MPDZ (multiple PDZ domain crumbs cell polarity complex component). [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 Mpdz often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
