Igfals Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable Roundabout binding activity; heparin binding activity; and insulin-like growth factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axon guidance and negative chemotaxis. Predicted to be part of insulin-like growth factor ternary complex. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; and testis. Orthologous to human IGFALS (insulin like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Igfals often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
