Htra4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process; programmed cell death; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; lung; and muscle tissue. Orthologous to human HTRA4 (HtrA serine peptidase 4).

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 Htra4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
