Description

TRANK1 encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) and ankyrin repeat domains, suggesting roles in protein-protein interactions and cellular signaling. The gene is widely expressed, with highest levels in brain and testis. Genetic variants in TRANK1 have been associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in genome-wide association studies.

Protein Summary

The TRANK1 protein (UniProt O15050) contains N-terminal ankyrin repeats and C-terminal TPR motifs, indicative of scaffolding or chaperone functions. It localizes to both cytoplasm and nucleus. Its precise biochemical function remains under investigation, but it may modulate intracellular signaling pathways relevant to neuropsychiatric disorders.
