Tulp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; neuron development; and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including phagocytosis, recognition; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and protein localization to photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be active in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Orthologous to human TULP1 (TUB like protein 1).

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 Tulp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
