Samd4b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cerebellar neuron development. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in P-body. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human SAMD4B (sterile alpha motif domain containing 4B). [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 Samd4b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
