Zfp598 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ribosome binding activity; stalled ribosome sensor activity; and ubiquitin-protein transferase regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein ubiquitination; rescue of stalled ribosome; and ribosome-associated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytosolic ribosome. Orthologous to human ZNF598 (zinc finger protein 598, E3 ubiquitin ligase).

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 Zfp598 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
