Fem1a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable EP4 subtype prostaglandin E2 receptor binding activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of MAP kinase activity and negative regulation of inflammatory response. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human FEM1A (fem-1 homolog A).

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 Fem1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
