Ftmt Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ferric iron binding activity; ferrous iron binding activity; and ferroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular iron ion homeostasis; positive regulation of aconitate hydratase activity; and positive regulation of succinate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human FTMT (ferritin mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Ftmt often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Ferritin-like domain
- iron ion binding
- enzyme
- ferroxidase
- Ferritin-like superfamily of diiron-containing four-helix-bundle proteins
