Uaca Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; negative regulation of inflammatory response; and negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus; and response to UV. Predicted to be located in membrane; nucleus; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of apoptosome. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human UACA (uveal autoantigen with coiled-coil domains and ankyrin repeats). [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 Uaca often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
