Mmgt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cobalt ion transmembrane transporter activity; ferrous iron transmembrane transporter activity; and magnesium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in magnesium ion transport. Acts upstream of or within cobalt ion transport; copper ion transport; and iron ion transport. Located in Golgi apparatus; early endosome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including axial musculature; ganglia; incisor; sensory organ; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human MMGT1 (membrane magnesium transporter 1).

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 Mmgt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
