Atic Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables IMP cyclohydrolase activity and phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including 'de novo' IMP biosynthetic process; brain development; and dihydrofolate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in purine-pyrimidine metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human ATIC (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase). [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 Atic often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
