Atp8a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables phosphatidylserine flippase activity. Involved in several processes, including learning; regulation of membrane lipid distribution; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and organelle membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ATP8A1 (ATPase phospholipid transporting 8A1). [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 Atp8a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
