Pcbp4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction; regulation of RNA metabolic process; and regulation of cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator and regulation of mRNA stability. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human PCBP4 (poly(rC) binding protein 4). [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 Pcbp4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
