Ocrl Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity; phosphatase activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; microtubule organizing center; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; membrane; and neuron projection. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Dent disease 2 and oculocerebrorenal syndrome. Orthologous to human OCRL (OCRL inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
