Glyctk Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables glycerate kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in fructose catabolic process and protein phosphorylation. Is active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in D-glyceric aciduria. Orthologous to human GLYCTK (glycerate kinase). [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 Glyctk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
