Fig4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate 5-phosphatase activity; phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate phosphatase activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of myelination; nervous system development; and phosphatidylinositol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endosome membrane; lipid droplet; and recycling endosome. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in nervous system; nucleus pulposus; thymus primordium; and vibrissa. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J and Yunis-Varon syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J; Yunis-Varon syndrome; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 11; and bilateral parasagittal parieto-occipital polymicrogyria. Orthologous to human FIG4 (FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Fig4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
