Rtkn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTPase inhibitor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; and septin ring organization. Predicted to be active in actomyosin contractile ring. Orthologous to human RTKN (rhotekin). [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 Rtkn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
