Ankrd27 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables SNARE binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in endosome to melanosome transport; neuron projection morphogenesis; and positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Located in melanosome; neuron projection; and transport vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; lung; spleen; and stomach. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in eosinophilic esophagitis. Orthologous to human ANKRD27 (ankyrin repeat domain 27). [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 Ankrd27 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
