Lpin1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including histone deacetylase binding activity; peroxisome proliferator activated receptor binding activity; and phosphatidate phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; negative regulation of myelination; and negative regulation of phosphatidic acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and mitochondrial outer membrane. Biomarker of end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human LPIN1 (lipin 1). [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 rat Lpin1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
