Mbl1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including D-mannose binding activity; calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity. Involved in complement activation, lectin pathway and protein homotrimerization. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human MBL1P (mannose binding lectin 1, pseudogene).

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 Mbl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
