Apc Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferation; and regulation of glutamate metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including cell body fiber; lateral plasma membrane; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study anemia; colon adenocarcinoma; colon cancer; and familial adenomatous polyposis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); familial adenomatous polyposis 1; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hereditary desmoid disease; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human APC (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway). [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 Apc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
