Gimap5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of metabolic process; positive regulation of lymphocyte mediated immunity; and regulation of T cell activation. Predicted to be located in lysosomal membrane; mitochondrion; and multivesicular body membrane. Used to study lymphopenia and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in portal hypertension. Orthologous to human GIMAP5 (GTPase, IMAP family member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gimap5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • GTP binding domain
  • small GTP-binding protein domain
  • membrane-association domain
  • protein binding
  • P-loop containing Nucleoside Triphosphate Hydrolases
  • AIG1 family
