Naa20 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable acyltransferase activity, transferring groups other than amino-acyl groups. Predicted to be involved in N-terminal peptidyl-aspartic acid acetylation; N-terminal peptidyl-glutamic acid acetylation; and N-terminal peptidyl-glutamine acetylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be part of NatB complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 73. Orthologous to human NAA20 (N-alpha-acetyltransferase 20, NatB catalytic subunit). [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 Naa20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
