Got1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity; L-cysteine transaminase activity; and carboxylic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; dicarboxylic acid metabolic process; and negative regulation of collagen biosynthetic process. Located in axon terminus. Used to study transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyloidosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human GOT1 (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1). [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 Got1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
