Mpdu1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the PQ-loop superfamily. A similar gene in human encodes a protein that is required for monosaccharide-P-dolichol-dependent glycosyltransferase reactions, and disruption of this gene is the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) type 1F, a disease linked to defects in protein N-glycosylation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

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 Mpdu1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Sugar efflux transporter for intercellular exchange
- protein binding
- PQ loop repeat
- Lysosomal Cystine Transporter
