Slc9a9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including monoatomic cation transmembrane transport; phagosome maturation; and regulation of intracellular pH. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane and recycling endosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human SLC9A9 (solute carrier family 9 member A9). [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 Slc9a9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
