Cep89 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase assembly and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including microtubule cytoskeleton; mitochondrial intermembrane space; and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of ciliary transition fiber. Predicted to be active in centriole. Orthologous to human CEP89 (centrosomal protein 89). [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 Cep89 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
