Atp5f1a Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables ADP binding activity; ATP binding activity; and protease binding activity. Contributes to ATP hydrolysis activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to nitric oxide; and response to muscle activity. Located in cell surface; membrane raft; and mitochondrial inner membrane. Part of proton-transporting ATP synthase complex. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 22; mitochondrial complex V (ATP synthase) deficiency nuclear type 4A; and mitochondrial complex V (ATP synthase) deficiency nuclear type 4B. Orthologous to human ATP5F1A (ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha). [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 Atp5f1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
