Ro60 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable U2 snRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to interferon-alpha and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; response to UV; and smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cilium; cytosol; and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Orthologous to human RO60 (Ro60, Y RNA binding protein). [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 Ro60 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
