Emc4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to contribute to membrane insertase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein insertion into ER membrane by stop-transfer membrane-anchor sequence and tail-anchored membrane protein insertion into ER membrane. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of EMC complex. Orthologous to human EMC4 (ER membrane protein complex subunit 4).

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 Emc4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
