Tbc1d4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to insulin stimulus. Predicted to be located in vesicle. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acanthosis nigricans. Orthologous to human TBC1D4 (TBC1 domain family member 4). [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 Tbc1d4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Rab-GTPase-TBC domain
  • Domain in Tre-2, BUB2p, and Cdc16p
  • protein binding
  • phosphotyrosine binding domain
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF3350)
  • phosphorylation site
