Rtn4ip1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable NADPH dehydrogenase (quinone) activity. Involved in regulation of dendrite development. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in optic atrophy 10. Orthologous to human RTN4IP1 (reticulon 4 interacting protein 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 mouse Rtn4ip1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
