Lonp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ATP-dependent peptidase activity; and DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; proteolysis; and regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; genitourinary system; gut; lung; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CODAS syndrome. Orthologous to human LONP1 (lon peptidase 1, mitochondrial). [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 Lonp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
