Ttl Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables tubulin-tyrosine ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle; post-translational protein modification; and regulation of metaphase plate congression. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of axon extension. Predicted to be active in spindle microtubule. Orthologous to human TTL (tubulin tyrosine ligase).

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 Ttl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase L chain, ATP binding domain
- enzyme
- tubulin-tyrosine ligase
