Rhag Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ankyrin binding activity; carbon dioxide transmembrane transporter activity; and channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ammonium transmembrane transport; carbon dioxide transmembrane transport; and methylammonium transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within erythrocyte development and multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of ankyrin-1 complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rh deficiency syndrome; hemolytic anemia; and overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis. Orthologous to human RHAG (Rh associated glycoprotein). [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 Rhag often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
