Limd1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within P-body assembly and miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of RISC complex and transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in P-body; adherens junction; and nucleus. Orthologous to human LIMD1 (LIM domain containing 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 Limd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • PreLIM domain
  • transcription regulator
  • LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain, containing two zinc fingers
  • transcription co-repressor
