Sprtn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; and metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA repair; positive regulation of protein ubiquitination; and protein autoprocessing. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ruijs-Aalfs syndrome. Orthologous to human SPRTN (SprT-like N-terminal domain).

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 Sprtn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
