Slc25a46 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon development; mitochondrion organization; and phospholipid homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; nervous system development; and respiratory chain complex IV assembly. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1E. Orthologous to human SLC25A46 (solute carrier family 25 member 46). [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 Slc25a46 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
