Ntsr1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including amino acid import across plasma membrane; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of inositol phosphate biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perikaryon; and symmetric synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; opiate dependence; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human NTSR1 (neurotensin 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 Ntsr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
