Atp4a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable P-type potassium transmembrane transporter activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis and monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within pH reduction; regulation of proton transport; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in apical plasma membrane. Orthologous to human ATP4A (ATPase H+/K+ transporting subunit alpha). [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 Atp4a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
