Mppe1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GPI anchor binding activity; GPI-mannose ethanolamine phosphate phosphodiesterase activity; and manganese ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process and endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cis-Golgi network; endoplasmic reticulum exit site; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment. Orthologous to human MPPE1 (metallophosphoesterase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Mppe1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
