Description

ATP6V1D encodes subunit D of the V1 domain of vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a multi-subunit enzyme that mediates acidification of intracellular compartments. This subunit is essential for assembly and rotational catalysis of the V1 complex. V-ATPase acidifies lysosomes, endosomes, and secretory vesicles, playing critical roles in protein degradation, neurotransmitter uptake, and renal proton secretion.

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.292C>T (p.Arg98Trp) Missense Rare Loss of V-ATPase assembly; associated with neurodevelopmental disorder
c.1A>G (p.Met1Val) Start loss Very rare Complete loss of protein; associated with renal tubular acidosis

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Biallelic loss-of-function variants (e.g., start loss, nonsense) cause severe renal and neurological phenotypes due to defective acidification.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported for ATP6V1D.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Heterozygous missense variants may exert dominant-negative effects on V-ATPase assembly, but evidence is limited.

Protein Summary

Subunit D of the V1 domain of vacuolar ATPase. It is a 247-amino-acid protein (28 kDa) that forms part of the central stalk connecting the V1 catalytic head to the V0 proton channel. It is required for ATP-driven rotation and proton translocation. The protein is highly conserved across eukaryotes and is expressed in all tissues, with highest levels in kidney and brain.
