Slc14a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables urea transmembrane transporter activity and water transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; urea transport; and water transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC14A1 (solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group)). [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 Slc14a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
