Omp Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable peptide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within neurogenesis and sensory perception of smell. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytosol; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; intestine; and olfactory system. Orthologous to human OMP (olfactory marker protein).

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