Apoh Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables lipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of respiratory burst; positive regulation of triglyceride catabolic process; and triglyceride transport. Located in cell surface and extracellular space. Used to study myocardial infarction and thrombosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in antiphospholipid syndrome; myocardial infarction; and peripheral vascular disease. Orthologous to human APOH (apolipoprotein H).

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