mt-Atp6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable proton channel activity. Predicted to contribute to proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism. Predicted to be involved in proton motive force-driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis and proton transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; NARP syndrome; Parkinson's disease; multiple sclerosis; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human MT-ATP6 (mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase membrane subunit 6). [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 Mt-Atp6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
