Them4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid metabolic process; negative regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability involved in apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Orthologous to human THEM4 (thioesterase superfamily 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 Them4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
