Pdzk1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables scavenger receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carnitine transport; positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane; and regulation of monoatomic ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in apical plasma membrane and microvillus membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including PDZK1 (PDZ domain containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Pdzk1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
