Rpa1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA metabolic process; meiotic cell cycle; and protein localization to site of double-strand break. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homeostasis of number of cells within a tissue; in utero embryonic development; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Part of DNA replication factor A complex. Orthologous to human RPA1 (replication protein A1). [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 Rpa1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
