Slc51b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable bile acid transmembrane transporter activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including monocarboxylic acid transport; positive regulation of establishment of protein localization; and positive regulation of protein glycosylation. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC51B (SLC51 subunit beta). [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 Slc51b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
