Sptbn1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GTPase binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and ankyrin binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport; central nervous system formation; and positive regulation of interleukin-2 production. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human SPTBN1 (spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 1). [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 Sptbn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
