Rftn1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including T cell antigen processing and presentation; antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of growth rate. Predicted to act upstream of or within dsRNA transport; response to exogenous dsRNA; and toll-like receptor 3 signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in endosome; membrane raft; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of glaucoma. Orthologous to human RFTN1 (raftlin, lipid raft linker 1). [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 Rftn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
