Ddi2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable aspartic-type endopeptidase activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydroxyurea; proteolysis; and regulation of DNA stability. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human DDI2 (DNA damage inducible 1 homolog 2) and RSC1A1 (regulator of solute carriers 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 Ddi2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
