Lpxn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of B cell receptor signaling pathway; substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; nuclear speck; and podosome. Orthologous to human LPXN (leupaxin).

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