Arl6ip1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of L-glutamate import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within cotranslational protein targeting to membrane. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Part of Sec61 translocon complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and stomach. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 61. Orthologous to human ARL6IP1 (ARL6 interacting reticulophagy regulator 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 Arl6ip1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
