Madd Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in negative regulation of growth hormone secretion and negative regulation of pancreatic amylase secretion. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is active in synapse. Biomarker of transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human MADD (MAP kinase activating death domain). [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 Madd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
