Mtm1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable intermediate filament binding activity; phosphatase activity; and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dephosphorylation; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and negative regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and positive regulation of skeletal muscle tissue growth. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including I band; late endosome; and ruffle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in centronuclear myopathy X-linked and congenital structural myopathy. Orthologous to human MTM1 (myotubularin 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 rat Mtm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
