Trpm4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium-activated cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including long-term memory; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of blood circulation. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of cardiac arrest. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 6 and progressive familial heart block type IB. Orthologous to human TRPM4 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4). [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 Trpm4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
