Unc13d Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to other organism; germinal center formation; and granuloma formation. Predicted to be located in Weibel-Palade body; cytosol; and lysosome. Predicted to be active in exocytic vesicle. Used to study familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3. Orthologous to human UNC13D (unc-13 homolog D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Unc13d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
