Ropn1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; protein localization to cilium; and sperm capacitation. Predicted to be located in sperm cytoplasmic droplet and sperm principal piece. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and motile cilium. Orthologous to several human genes including ROPN1 (rhophilin associated tail protein 1). [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 Ropn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
