Parl Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in neuron differentiation and response to nutrient levels. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; coronary artery disease; hyperinsulinism; myopia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PARL (presenilin associated rhomboid like). [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 Parl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
