Sez6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in regulation of dendrite development and synapse maturation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including activation of protein kinase C activity; cerebellar Purkinje cell layer development; and excitatory postsynaptic potential. Predicted to be located in apical dendrite and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Orthologous to human SEZ6 (seizure related 6 homolog). [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 Sez6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
