Slc37a4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables glucose 6-phosphate:phosphate antiporter activity. Involved in gluconeogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; glucose-6-phosphate transport; and hemopoiesis. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Used to study glycogen storage disease Ia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIw; glycogen storage disease Ib; and glycogen storage disease Ic. Orthologous to human SLC37A4 (solute carrier family 37 member 4). [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 Slc37a4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
