Mtap Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables S-methyl-5-thioadenosine phosphorylase activity. Involved in response to testosterone. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in biliary tract benign neoplasm and diaphyseal medullary stenosis with malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Orthologous to human MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). [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 Mtap often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
