Fhod1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cortical actin cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of stress fiber assembly; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within establishment of centrosome localization and nuclear migration. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including intercalated disc; nucleoplasm; and stress fiber. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. Orthologous to human FHOD1 (formin homology 2 domain containing 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 Fhod1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
