Spns1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in lysophospholipid transport. Acts upstream of or within phospholipid efflux and regulation of lysosomal lumen pH. Is active in lysosome. Is expressed in brain and retina. Orthologous to human SPNS1 (SPNS lysolipid transporter 1, lysophospholipid). [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 Spns1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
