Itsn1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable kinase activator activity; molecular adaptor activity; and proline-rich region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendritic spine development; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of synapse organization. Located in several cellular components, including clathrin-coated pit; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton; and postsynaptic endocytic zone. Orthologous to human ITSN1 (intersectin 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 Itsn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
