Meiob Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; single-stranded DNA 3'-5' DNA exonuclease activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; fertilization; and meiosis I. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency and spermatogenic failure 22. Orthologous to human MEIOB (meiosis specific with OB-fold).

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 Meiob often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- single-stranded DNA binding
- chromatin binding
- enzyme
- protein binding
- single-stranded DNA specific 3'-5' exodeoxyribonuclease
- oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold of replication protein A and class 2b aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
