Prkcb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including nuclear androgen receptor binding activity; protein kinase C binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and response to angiotensin. Located in brush border membrane; centrosome; and cytosol. Used to study hyperglycemia; hypertension; and silicosis. Biomarker of congestive heart failure; obesity; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PRKCB (protein kinase C beta).

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