Pip Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable IgG binding activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; negative regulation of T cell apoptotic process; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane; extracellular region; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human PIP (prolactin induced 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 Pip often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- IgG binding
- DNA binding domain
- peptidase
- synergy domain
- aspartic endopeptidase
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
- Seminal vesicle autoantigen (SVA)
