Edem1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1,2-alpha-mannosidase activity and misfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol; proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; and trimming of terminal mannose on C branch. Predicted to act upstream of or within ERAD pathway. Predicted to be located in aggresome; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and endoplasmic reticulum quality control compartment. Orthologous to human EDEM1 (ER degradation enhancing alpha-mannosidase like protein 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 Edem1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
