Ostm1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within osteoclast differentiation. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; skeleton; and skin. Used to study autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 5. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 5. Orthologous to human OSTM1 (osteoclastogenesis associated transmembrane protein 1).

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 Ostm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
