Gga1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Involved in Golgi to plasma membrane transport and protein localization to ciliary membrane. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; early endosome; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; respiratory system; and white fat. Orthologous to human GGA1 (golgi associated, gamma adaptin ear containing, ARF binding protein 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 Gga1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
