Nrn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission and regulation of synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within neuron projection extension. Located in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and liver. Orthologous to human NRN1 (neuritin 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 Nrn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
