Rala Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including Edg-2 lysophosphatidic acid receptor binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity. Involved in regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and synaptic membrane. Orthologous to human RALA (RAS like proto-oncogene A). [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 Rala often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
