Arf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables GTP binding activity and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in mitotic cleavage furrow ingression. Acts upstream of or within vesicle-mediated transport. Located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and sarcomere. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in periventricular nodular heterotopia. Orthologous to human ARF1 (ARF GTPase 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 Arf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
