Rhag Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ammonium channel activity and methylammonium transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in methylammonium transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within ammonium transmembrane transport; erythrocyte development; and multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of ankyrin-1 complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebral cortex; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rh deficiency syndrome; hemolytic anemia; and overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis. Orthologous to human RHAG (Rh associated glycoprotein).

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