Aipl1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable farnesylated protein binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including phototransduction, visible light; protein farnesylation; and regulation of opsin-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear speck; and photoreceptor inner segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis; Leber congenital amaurosis 4; blindness; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human AIPL1 (aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein like 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 Aipl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
