Amot Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable angiostatin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling receptor activity. Involved in regulation of modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human AMOT (angiomotin). [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 Amot often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
