Gper1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables nuclear estrogen receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; positive regulation of cell communication; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is active in hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse. Is expressed in embryo; metanephros; pituitary gland; stomach glandular region epithelium; and stomach glandular region gastric gland. Orthologous to human GPER1 (G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 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 Gper1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
