Nedd9 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein tyrosine kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of dendritic spine maintenance; positive regulation of immunological synapse formation; and regulation of cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within activation of GTPase activity. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; focal adhesion; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with plasma membrane. Orthologous to human NEDD9 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 9). [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 Nedd9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
