Gas1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables oxysterol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell growth; odontogenesis; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; nervous system development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GAS1 (growth arrest specific 1).

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 Gas1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
