Lsm14a Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in membraneless organelle assembly and negative regulation of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within RIG-I signaling pathway; defense response to virus; and positive regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic stress granule; cytosol; and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in P-body. Orthologous to human LSM14A (LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor). [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 Lsm14a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
