Lmcd1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade and regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human LMCD1 (LIM and cysteine rich domains 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 Lmcd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain, containing two zinc fingers
