Kalrn Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including learning or memory; maternal behavior; and maternal process involved in parturition. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including neuronal cell body; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density; and presynapse. Predicted to be extrinsic component of membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; dorsal root ganglion; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral atherosclerosis; cerebral infarction; and coronary artery disease. Orthologous to human KALRN (kalirin RhoGEF kinase).

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