Acod1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables aconitate decarboxylase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; regulation of defense response; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human ACOD1 (aconitate decarboxylase 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 Acod1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
