Matn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within growth plate cartilage chondrocyte morphogenesis and regulation of bone mineralization. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cartilage; genitourinary system; heart; limb; and skeleton. Orthologous to human MATN1 (matrilin 1). [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 Matn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
