Bnip1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and calcium-induced calcium release activity. Involved in response to activity; response to oxygen-glucose deprivation; and response to starvation. Located in COPI-coated vesicle. Part of SNARE complex. Orthologous to human BNIP1 (BCL2 interacting protein 1). [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 Bnip1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
