Plekhn1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 3'-UTR-mediated mRNA destabilization; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton and mitochondrial membrane. Orthologous to human PLEKHN1 (pleckstrin homology domain containing N1). [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 Plekhn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
