Gpc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables fibroblast growth factor binding activity and laminin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in extracellular matrix and membrane raft. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; metanephros; musculoskeletal system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GPC1 (glypican 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 Gpc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
