Tesc Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity; phosphatase inhibitor activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; positive regulation of myeloid cell differentiation; and positive regulation of sodium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; nucleoplasm; and ruffle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human TESC (tescalcin). [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 Tesc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
