Ngrn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial ribosome assembly and positive regulation of mitochondrial translation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including mitochondrion; mitotic spindle; and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NGRN (neugrin, neurite outgrowth associated). [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 Ngrn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
