Sec61a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ribosome binding activity and transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in pronephric nephron development. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of Sec61 translocon complex. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; jaw; skeleton; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease; common variable immunodeficiency; and severe congenital neutropenia. Orthologous to human SEC61A1 (SEC61 translocon subunit alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Sec61a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
