Slc12a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables sodium:potassium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including chloride transport; metal ion transport; and protein insertion into membrane from inner side. Located in apical plasma membrane and cell surface. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bartter disease and Bartter disease type 1. Orthologous to human SLC12A1 (solute carrier family 12 member 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 Slc12a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
