Mtmr4 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including R-SMAD binding activity; phosphatidylinositol phosphate phosphatase activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in response to denervation involved in regulation of muscle adaptation. Predicted to be located in early endosome membrane; late endosome membrane; and recycling endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in early phagosome membrane and endosome membrane. Biomarker of muscular atrophy. Orthologous to human MTMR4 (myotubularin related protein 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 Mtmr4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
