Rhd Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ammonium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in ammonium homeostasis and ammonium transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within erythrocyte development and multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rh isoimmunization. Orthologous to several human genes including RHD (Rh blood group D antigen). [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 Rhd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
