Official Full Name: folate receptor alphaprovided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:71032
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000019902 AllianceGenome:RGD:71032
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Also known as: Fbp1
Summary: Predicted to enable folic acid binding activity; folic acid receptor activity; and signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; nervous system development; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within folic acid metabolic process. Located in brush border membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral folate receptor alpha deficiency. Orthologous to human FOLR1 (folate receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
