Dhdds Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ditrans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase [(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific] activity. Predicted to be involved in dolichyl diphosphate biosynthetic process and polyprenol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 59. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental delay and seizures with or without movement abnormalities and retinitis pigmentosa 59. Orthologous to human DHDDS (dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 mouse Dhdds often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
