Dchs1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heart development; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and hippo signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including condensed mesenchymal cell proliferation; heart development; and post-anal tail morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in apical part of cell. Predicted to be part of catenin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Van Maldergem syndrome 1 and mitral valve prolapse. Orthologous to human DCHS1 (dachsous cadherin-related 1). [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 Dchs1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Cadherin-like
- Cadherin repeat-like domain
