Lrfn5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in negative regulation of macrophage activation and regulation of presynapse assembly. Located in cell surface. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human LRFN5 (leucine rich repeat and fibronectin type III domain containing 5).

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 Lrfn5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
