Bcas3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including acetyltransferase activator activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase binding activity. Involved in cell-cell signaling; positive regulation of endothelial cell migration; and regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. Located in cell leading edge; cell periphery; and cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; hemolymphoid system; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hengel-Maroofian-Schols syndrome. Orthologous to human BCAS3 (BCAS3 microtubule associated cell migration factor).

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 Bcas3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
