Smtnl1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including calmodulin binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel diameter maintenance; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and response to activity. Predicted to be located in I band; M band; and nucleus. Orthologous to human SMTNL1 (smoothelin 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 Smtnl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
