Masp1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including calcium-dependent protein binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in complement activation, lectin pathway and negative regulation of complement activation. Located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 3MC syndrome 1. Orthologous to human MASP1 (MBL associated serine protease 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Masp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
