Rhbg Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ammonium channel activity; ankyrin binding activity; and carbon dioxide transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in ammonium homeostasis; ammonium transmembrane transport; and transepithelial ammonium transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human RHBG (Rh family B glycoprotein). [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 Rhbg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
