Oga Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity and histone acetyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of mitochondrial depolarization; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Orthologous to human OGA (O-GlcNAcase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Oga often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
