Rhob Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; regulation of cell migration; and regulation of modification of postsynaptic structure. Predicted to act upstream of or within intracellular protein transport. Located in cytosol and membrane. Is active in synapse. Used to study melanoma. Orthologous to human RHOB (ras homolog family member B). [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 Rhob often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
