Ndrg1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including nickel cation binding activity; small GTPase binding activity; and tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator; cellular response to hypoxia; and peripheral nervous system myelin maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within mast cell activation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; microtubule cytoskeleton; and recycling endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D. Orthologous to human NDRG1 (N-myc downstream regulated 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 Ndrg1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
