Ggcx Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables gamma-glutamyl carboxylase activity and vitamin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lung growth; peptidyl-glutamic acid carboxylation; and response to dexamethasone. Predicted to be located in endomembrane system and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Biomarker of urolithiasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors 1. Orthologous to human GGCX (gamma-glutamyl carboxylase).

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 Ggcx often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
