Fkrp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including dystroglycan binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and laminin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein O-linked mannosylation and protein tetramerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including monocarboxylic acid metabolic process; nervous system development; and skeletal muscle organ development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; and sarcolemma. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and skeletal muscle myofibril. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human FKRP (fukutin related protein).

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