Cpeb1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process; and regulation of translation. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Used to study glioblastoma. Biomarker of portal hypertension and primary biliary cholangitis. Orthologous to human CPEB1 (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 1).

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 Cpeb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
