Cobl Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin monomer binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; embryonic pattern specification; and positive regulation of cell projection organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within actin cytoskeleton organization and neural tube closure. Located in cell cortex and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human COBL (cordon-bleu WH2 repeat protein).

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