Arv1 Gene Summary [Rat]
this gene encodes a transmembrane protein that contains a conserved zinc ribbon motif at the N- terminus. A similar protein in mouse is thought to function in fatty acid homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 38. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

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 Arv1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- lipid transporter
- protein binding
- Arv1-like family
