Psd Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in neuron projection development. Located in dendritic spine and postsynaptic density. Is active in postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PSD (pleckstrin and Sec7 domain containing). [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 Psd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
