Pawr Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables actin binding activity; protein kinase C binding activity; and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of cellular extravasation. Located in actin filament; axon; and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of depressive disorder; epilepsy; middle cerebral artery infarction; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human PAWR (pro-apoptotic WT1 regulator). [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 Pawr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
