Fmnl1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including GTPase activating protein binding activity; profilin binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin filament severing; cortical actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of cell shape. Predicted to act upstream of or within substrate-dependent cell migration. Predicted to be located in phagocytic vesicle and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human FMNL1 (formin like 1). [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 rat Fmnl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
