Emilin1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables extracellular matrix constituent conferring elasticity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of signal transduction; regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of extracellular matrix organization. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 10. Orthologous to human EMILIN1 (elastin microfibril interfacer 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 Emilin1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
