Tmem168 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable sodium channel regulator activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and regulation of voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Predicted to be located in nuclear membrane and transport vesicle. Orthologous to human TMEM168 (transmembrane protein 168). [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 Tmem168 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
