Rttn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in centriole replication; centriole-centriole cohesion; and ciliary basal body organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry. Predicted to be located in centrosome. Predicted to be active in centriole and ciliary basal body. Orthologous to human RTTN (rotatin). [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 Rttn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein binding
- Rotatin, an armadillo repeat protein, centriole functioning
