Erbb4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables GABA receptor binding activity; epidermal growth factor receptor activity; and neuregulin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; mammary gland development; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and positive regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Is active in several cellular components, including GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo ectoderm; facial prominence; heart; and mammary gland primordium. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 19; colorectal cancer; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human ERBB4 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4). [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 Erbb4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
