Kirrel Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity and myosin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; positive regulation of actin filament polymerization; and renal protein absorption. Located in cell-cell junction; dendritic shaft; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; craniocervical region bone; heart; limb primordium; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 23. Orthologous to human KIRREL1 (kirre like nephrin family adhesion molecule 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 Kirrel often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
