Ttll4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable tubulin binding activity and tubulin-glutamic acid ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and peptidyl-glutamic acid modification. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein polyglutamylation and regulation of blastocyst development. Predicted to be located in 9+0 non-motile cilium. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body. Orthologous to human TTLL4 (tubulin tyrosine ligase like 4). [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 Ttll4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
