Glud1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables enzyme binding activity and glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Involved in cerebellum development; long-term memory; and response to aluminum ion. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Biomarker of brain ischemia; childhood absence epilepsy; fascioliasis; hepatic encephalopathy; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 6; hyperinsulinism; and hypoglycemia. Orthologous to several human genes including GLUD1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 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 Glud1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
