Crnn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; positive regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition; and positive regulation of keratinocyte proliferation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Orthologous to human CRNN (cornulin). [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 Crnn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
