Ppef1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling; detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human PPEF1 (protein phosphatase with EF-hand domain 1). [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 Ppef1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
