Rnaseh2b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in RNA catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including in utero embryonic development; positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation; and regulation of cell cycle phase transition. Predicted to be part of ribonuclease H2 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Orthologous to human RNASEH2B (ribonuclease H2 subunit B). [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 Rnaseh2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
