Dmtn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell-substrate adhesion; negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; platelet dense tubular network membrane; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton; plasma membrane; and synapse. Orthologous to human DMTN (dematin actin binding 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 Dmtn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
