Invs Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in kidney development; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and protein localization to ciliary inversin compartment. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including left/right pattern formation; pancreas development; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in ciliary base and ciliary inversin compartment. Predicted to be active in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and nephronophthisis 2. Orthologous to human INVS (inversin). [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 Invs often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
