Dtnbp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in several processes, including anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; regulation of JUN kinase activity; and regulation of secretion by cell. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of protein serine/threonine kinase activity; plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization; and platelet dense granule organization. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; growth cone; and sarcolemma. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 7; platelet storage pool deficiency; and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 7 and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human DTNBP1 (dystrobrevin binding protein 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 Dtnbp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
