Napb Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables syntaxin binding activity. Involved in protein-containing complex disassembly; regulation of ATP-dependent activity; and regulation of receptor internalization. Is active in postsynapse and presynaptic active zone membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 107. Orthologous to human NAPB (NSF attachment protein beta). [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 Napb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
