Phactr4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity; protein phosphatase 1 binding activity; and protein phosphatase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including enteric nervous system development; morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium; and negative regulation of integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in lamellipodium. Orthologous to human PHACTR4 (phosphatase and actin regulator 4). [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 Phactr4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RPEL repeat
- protein phosphatase 1 binding
- actin binding
