Spop Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human SPOP (speckle type BTB/POZ protein).

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 Spop often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
