Ngdn Gene Summary [Rat]
Involved in negative regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of translation at postsynapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; perforant pathway to dendrate granule cell synapse; and postsynapse. Orthologous to human NGDN (neuroguidin). [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 Ngdn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
