Mcoln1

Enables iron ion transmembrane transporter activity and monoatomic ion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to calcium ion; cellular response to pH; and protein homotetramerization. Acts upstream of or within autophagosome maturation. Located in membrane. Is active in intracellular vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including cochlea; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Used to study mucolipidosis type IV. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy; glycoproteinosis; and mucolipidosis type IV. Orthologous to human MCOLN1 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 1).

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 mouse Mcoln1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
