Cstl1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cysteine-type peptidase activity. Involved in signaling receptor ligand precursor processing. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled opioid receptor signaling pathway and transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in testis. Orthologous to human CSTL1 (cystatin like 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 Cstl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
