Dolk Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable dolichol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dolichol phosphate mannose biosynthetic process; dolichyl monophosphate biosynthetic process; and protein glycosylation. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Im. Orthologous to human DOLK (dolichol kinase).

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 Dolk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
