Cep85 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including centriole replication; negative regulation of protein kinase activity; and regulation of mitotic centrosome separation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in centrosome. Orthologous to human CEP85 (centrosomal protein 85). [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 Cep85 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
