Lztfl1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of protein localization to ciliary membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within flagellated sperm motility and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cilium; cytosol; and manchette. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 17. Orthologous to human LZTFL1 (leucine zipper transcription factor like 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 Lztfl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
