Plekhm1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including autophagosome-lysosome fusion; positive regulation of bone resorption; and positive regulation of ruffle assembly. Predicted to be located in autolysosome; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 6 and osteopetrosis. Orthologous to human PLEKHM1 (pleckstrin homology and RUN domain containing M1). [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 Plekhm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
