Fras1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; metanephros morphogenesis; and roof of mouth development. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fraser syndrome 1. Orthologous to human FRAS1 (Fraser extracellular matrix complex subunit 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 Fras1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
