Adamtsl4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within epithelial cell development; extracellular matrix organization; and pigment cell development. Predicted to be located in interstitial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive isolated ectopia lentis 2 and ectopia lentis with ectopia of pupil. Orthologous to human ADAMTSL4 (ADAMTS like 4).

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 Adamtsl4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
