Lrpprc Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-tubulin binding activity; mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of mitochondrial translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of mitochondrial RNA catabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including condensed nuclear chromosome; mitochondrial nucleoid; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in French Canadian Leigh disease and Leigh disease. Orthologous to human LRPPRC (leucine rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing). [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 Lrpprc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
