Slc25a46 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including autophagy of mitochondrion; locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and nervous system development. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in craniocervical region bone; ear; jaw; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1E. Orthologous to human SLC25A46 (solute carrier family 25 member 46).

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 Slc25a46 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
