Pls1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; inner ear receptor cell stereocilium organization; and intestinal D-glucose absorption. Predicted to act upstream of or within terminal web assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including brush border; stereocilium; and terminal web. Predicted to be active in actin filament; actin filament bundle; and cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 76. Orthologous to human PLS1 (plastin 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 Pls1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
