Dnase1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables deoxyribonuclease I activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA catabolic process; neutrophil activation involved in immune response; and regulation of neutrophil mediated cytotoxicity. Located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human DNASE1 (deoxyribonuclease 1).

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 Dnase1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
