Dab1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables signaling adaptor activity. Involved in nervous system development; reelin-mediated signaling pathway; and regulation of synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; negative regulation of neurogenesis; and nervous system development. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in cytoplasm and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 37. Orthologous to human DAB1 (DAB adaptor 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 Dab1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • phospholipid binding
  • protein interaction domain
  • phosphoinositide 3-kinase binding
  • SH2-domain binding
  • protein binding activity, bridging
  • protein binding
  • phosphotyrosine binding domain
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
  • phosphorylation site
