Rtcb Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA ligase (GTP) activity and vinculin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and placenta development. Predicted to be located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of tRNA-splicing ligase complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human RTCB (RNA 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5'-OH ligase).

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