Pdlim5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables actin binding activity; actinin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Located in cytosol; membrane; and postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human PDLIM5 (PDZ and LIM domain 5).

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 Pdlim5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
