Rhod Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables GTP binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization and regulation of focal adhesion assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and protein targeting. Is active in cell projection. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human RHOD (ras homolog family member D). [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 Rhod often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
