Crocc Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable actin binding activity; kinesin binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including centriole-centriole cohesion; positive regulation of cilium assembly; and positive regulation of protein localization to cilium. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary basal body organization; epithelial structure maintenance; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; photoreceptor inner segment; and subapical part of cell. Predicted to be active in centriole and centrosome. Orthologous to human CROCC (ciliary rootlet coiled-coil, rootletin). [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 Crocc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
