Plekhf1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endosome organization; endosome to lysosome transport; and protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in endosome. Predicted to be active in early endosome and lysosome. Orthologous to human PLEKHF1 (pleckstrin homology and FYVE domain 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 Plekhf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
