Folh1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable Ac-Asp-Glu binding activity; exopeptidase activity; and tetrahydrofolyl-poly(glutamate) polymer binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process and protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell surface and membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm and cerebral infarction. Orthologous to several human genes including FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1).

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 Folh1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
