Lrsam1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macroautophagy; protein ubiquitination; and ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2P. Orthologous to human LRSAM1 (leucine rich repeat and sterile alpha motif containing 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 Lrsam1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
