Chtf18 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA clamp loader activity and single-stranded DNA helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within germ cell development; meiotic nuclear division; and negative regulation of chromosome segregation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; male germ cell nucleus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Ctf18 RFC-like complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human CHTF18 (chromosome transmission fidelity factor 18). [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 Chtf18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
