Numb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable alpha-catenin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and cadherin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis; regulation of neuron differentiation; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Located in apical part of cell and dendritic spine. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human NUMB (NUMB endocytic adaptor protein). [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 Numb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
