Gak Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables cyclin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi to lysosome transport; clathrin coat disassembly; and regulation of clathrin coat assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; establishment of skin barrier; and intrahepatic bile duct development. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and clathrin-coated vesicle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and vesicle. Orthologous to human GAK (cyclin G associated kinase). [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 Gak often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
