C1qtnf5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within inner ear development and protein secretion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; bicellular tight junction; and lateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cell projection; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in late-onset retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human C1QTNF5 (C1q and TNF related 5). [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 C1qtnf5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
