Ghitm Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable calcium channel activity and calcium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in inner mitochondrial membrane organization; monoatomic cation transmembrane transport; and negative regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Orthologous to human GHITM (growth hormone inducible transmembrane protein). [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 Ghitm often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
