Cyfip1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; negative regulation of synaptic vesicle recycling; and positive regulation of cell projection organization. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; distal axon; and filopodium tip. Biomarker of temporal lobe epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human CYFIP1 (cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1).

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 Cyfip1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
