Synm Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables intermediate filament binding activity. Acts upstream of or within fast-twitch skeletal muscle fiber contraction. Located in neurofilament cytoskeleton and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; genitourinary system; gut; musculature; and nervous system. Orthologous to human SYNM (synemin).

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