Donson Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in DNA-templated DNA replication and mitotic G2/M transition checkpoint. Predicted to be located in replication fork. Predicted to be part of replisome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly, short stature, and limb abnormalities and microcephaly-micromelia syndrome. Orthologous to human DONSON (DNA replication fork stabilization factor DONSON). [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 Donson often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
