Appl1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-tubulin binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and regulation of endocytosis. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; muscle tissue; spleen; stomach; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 14. Orthologous to human APPL1 (adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 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 Appl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
