Ei24 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable importin-alpha family protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in macroautophagy. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to UV-C; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and negative regulation of protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human EI24 (EI24 autophagy associated transmembrane protein).

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 Ei24 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
