Bfar Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable caspase binding activity; protein-macromolecule adaptor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Orthologous to human BFAR (bifunctional apoptosis regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Bfar often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
