Nsg1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of receptor recycling; postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor cycle; and spontaneous synaptic transmission. Located in several cellular components, including endosome; lysosomal lumen; and trans-Golgi network membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic endosome. Orthologous to human NSG1 (neuronal vesicle trafficking associated 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 Nsg1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
