GPATCH8 Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene contains an RNA-processing domain, a zinc finger domain, a lysine-rich region and a serine-rich region. A mutation in the serine-rich region of the protein is thought to be associated with hyperuricemia (PMID: 21594610). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

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 human GPATCH8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- G-patch domain
- Zinc-finger double-stranded RNA-binding
- mRNA binding
- U1 zinc finger
- protein binding
