Stau1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables double-stranded RNA binding activity and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in cellular response to oxidative stress; modification of postsynaptic structure; and positive regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation. Located in neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human STAU1 (staufen double-stranded RNA binding protein 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 Stau1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
