Rbbp8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; single-stranded DNA endodeoxyribonuclease activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in response to estradiol. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of BRCA1-C complex and transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in site of double-strand break. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 2. Orthologous to human RBBP8 (RB binding protein 8, endonuclease).

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 Rbbp8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
