Itpa Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable dITP diphosphatase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleoside triphosphate catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ITP catabolic process and chromosome organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including anemia (multiple); developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 35; hepatitis C; rheumatoid arthritis; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human ITPA (inosine triphosphatase). [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 Itpa often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
