Rap1b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables G protein activity. Involved in modification of postsynaptic structure. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of regulated secretory pathway; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in brain and eye. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to several human genes including RAP1B (RAP1B, member of RAS oncogene family). [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 Rap1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
