Lgi3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in regulation of exocytosis. Located in juxtaparanode region of axon and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; gut; nervous system; respiratory system; and retina. Orthologous to human LGI3 (leucine rich repeat LGI family member 3).

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 Lgi3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
