Dzip1l Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary transition zone assembly; neural tube development; and protein localization to cilium. Located in axoneme; centriole; and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in embryo; future spinal cord; and olfactory epithelium. Used to study autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic kidney disease 5. Orthologous to human DZIP1L (DAZ interacting zinc finger protein 1 like).

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 Dzip1l 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 (DUF4659)
- protein binding
- Iguana/Dzip1-like DAZ-interacting protein N-terminal
- Intermediate filament protein
