Gbf1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi disassembly; Golgi vesicle transport; and protein localization to organelle. Located in Golgi stack; endoplasmic reticulum lumen; and peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate A. Orthologous to human GBF1 (golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gbf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
