Orm1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables small molecule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to growth hormone stimulus; cellular response to retinoic acid; and inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including ORM1 (orosomucoid 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 Orm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
