Atp1a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity; alkali metal ion binding activity; and ankyrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; membrane hyperpolarization; and monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; basolateral plasma membrane; and intercalated disc. Part of sodium:potassium-exchanging ATPase complex. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of hyperhomocysteinemia and sensorineural hearing loss. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2DD. Orthologous to human ATP1A1 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 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 Atp1a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
