Slc25a27 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chloride transmembrane transporter activity; protein homodimerization activity; and proton transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular triglyceride homeostasis; negative regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration; and negative regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Located in apical part of cell and neuronal cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human SLC25A27 (solute carrier family 25 member 27).

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 Slc25a27 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
