Spn Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables heat shock protein binding activity. Involved in leukocyte tethering or rolling; negative regulation of T cell proliferation; and positive regulation of T cell migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of defense response. Located in basement membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and uropod. Is expressed in hematopoietic system; umbilical artery; vascular system; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human SPN (sialophorin). [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 Spn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
