Rangrf Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; small GTPase binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of protein localization; protein exit from endoplasmic reticulum; and regulation of cardiac muscle cell action potential. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including caveola; intercalated disc; and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human RANGRF (RAN guanine nucleotide release factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Rangrf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
