Map7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glycosphingolipid metabolic process; male gonad development; and response to retinoic acid. Located in axon. Orthologous to human MAP7 (microtubule associated protein 7). [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 Map7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
