Rhoj Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; positive regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis; and regulation of sprouting angiogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; regulation of cell shape; and retina vasculature morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human RHOJ (ras homolog family member J). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Rhoj often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
