Rhot1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of mitochondrion localization, microtubule-mediated; mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization; and regulation of organelle transport along microtubule. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain and head. Used to study motor neuron disease. Orthologous to human RHOT1 (ras homolog family member T1).

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 Rhot1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
