Limch1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable myosin II head/neck binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoplasmic actin-based contraction involved in cell motility; positive regulation of stress fiber assembly; and regulation of focal adhesion assembly. Predicted to be located in actin cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Predicted to be active in stress fiber. Orthologous to human LIMCH1 (LIM and calponin homology domains 1).

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 Limch1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
