Zbp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and left-handed Z-DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of defense response; and positive regulation of programmed cell death. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ZBP1 (Z-DNA binding protein 1). [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 Zbp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
