Rxfp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables hormone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lung connective tissue development; myofibroblast differentiation; and nipple morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; mandibular process; metanephros; and oral region epithelium. Orthologous to human RXFP1 (relaxin family peptide receptor 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 Rxfp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
