Ahi1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic brain development; negative regulation of D-glucose import; and response to food. Predicted to be located in adherens junction; microtubule organizing center; and photoreceptor cell cilium. Predicted to be part of MKS complex. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 3; Joubert syndrome 4; and autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human AHI1 (Abelson helper integration site 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 Ahi1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
