Ppfia1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of stress fiber assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and focal adhesion. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; presynaptic active zone; and spine apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel endothelium; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human PPFIA1 (PTPRF interacting protein alpha 1). [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 Ppfia1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Crescentin protein
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF1978)
  • RNase Y N-terminal region
  • Tropomyosin like
  • PspA/IM30 family
  • Hyaluronan mediated motility receptor N-terminal
  • SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
  • coiled-coil domain
  • protein binding
  • Calcium binding and coiled-coil domain (CALCOCO1) like
  • Laminin Domain I
  • chromosome segregation protein SMC, common bacterial type
  • Tropomyosin
  • Mechanosensitive ion channel porin domain
  • Sterile alpha motif
  • SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif)
  • phosphatase
  • Growth-arrest specific micro-tubule binding
  • Apolipoprotein A1/A4/E domain
  • Septation ring formation regulator, EzrA
  • liprin homology domain
