Mfsd5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable molybdate ion transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within response to food and response to starvation. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human MFSD5 (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 5).

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 Mfsd5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
