Tmem109 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable voltage-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to gamma radiation and intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of programmed cell death. Predicted to be located in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Orthologous to human TMEM109 (transmembrane protein 109). [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 Tmem109 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
