Mmrn1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis; negative regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of platelet aggregation. Predicted to be located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix; extracellular region; and platelet alpha granule. Predicted to be part of multimerin complex. Orthologous to human MMRN1 (multimerin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Mmrn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
