Gper1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables G protein-coupled estrogen receptor activity and estradiol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including apoptotic nuclear changes; cellular response to steroid hormone stimulus; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on vasodilation. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; postsynaptic density; and presynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human GPER1 (G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1). [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 Gper1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
