Abcc9 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; potassium channel activator activity; and sulfonylurea receptor activity. Involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane; response to ATP; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in T-tubule and acrosomal vesicle. Part of inward rectifying potassium channel. Biomarker of Parkinsonism; hypertension; and sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1O; familial atrial fibrillation; hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia Cantu type; and intellectual disability and myopathy syndrome. Orthologous to human ABCC9 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 9). [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 Abcc9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
