Rrp8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of with a negative effect on regulation of G1 to G0 transition. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of eNoSc complex. Predicted to be active in nucleolus and rDNA heterochromatin. Orthologous to human RRP8 (ribosomal RNA processing 8). [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 Rrp8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
