Parp8 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable kinase binding activity; pentosyltransferase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response and protein auto-ADP-ribosylation. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum tubular network and nuclear envelope. Orthologous to human PARP8 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 8). [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 Parp8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
