Atr Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable MutLalpha complex binding activity; MutSalpha complex binding activity; and histone H2AXS139 kinase activity. Involved in response to arsenic-containing substance and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; XY body; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of ATR-ATRIP complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including GABA-ergic synapse; nuclear envelope; and site of DNA damage. Predicted to be extrinsic component of synaptic vesicle membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 1; adenoid cystic carcinoma; colon cancer; lung cancer; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human ATR (ATR serine/threonine kinase).

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 Atr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
