Dennd1a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including SH3 domain binding activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endocytic recycling; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of Rab protein signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including clathrin-coated vesicle membrane; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in clathrin-coated vesicle and cytosol. Orthologous to human DENND1A (DENN domain containing 1A). [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 Dennd1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
