Xrcc1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including ADP-D-ribose modification-dependent protein binding activity; oxidized DNA binding activity; and poly-ADP-D-ribose binding activity. Predicted to contribute to 3' overhang single-stranded DNA endodeoxyribonuclease activity. Involved in base-excision repair; response to hypoxia; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of ERCC4-ERCC1 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and site of DNA damage. Used to study in situ carcinoma. Biomarker of asphyxia neonatorum; middle cerebral artery infarction; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); central nervous system cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross complementing 1). [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 Xrcc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
