Plekha1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; gonad development; and steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and ruffle membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; ganglia; metanephros; nasal epithelium; and ureter. Orthologous to human PLEKHA1 (pleckstrin homology domain containing A1). [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 Plekha1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
