Tpbg Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including dendrite arborization; olfactory learning; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in axon terminus; dendrite; and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human TPBG (trophoblast glycoprotein).

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 Tpbg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 42
  • Leucine rich repeat
  • Leucine rich repeat C-terminal domain
  • Leucine rich repeat N-terminal domain
  • Leucine Rich repeats (2 copies)
