Aaas Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in microtubule bundle formation; mitotic spindle assembly; and nucleocytoplasmic transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glutathione metabolic process; learning; and response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear pore. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achalasia and triple-A syndrome. Orthologous to human AAAS (aladin WD repeat nucleoporin). [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 Aaas often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
