Crtc1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cAMP response element binding protein binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite development; positive regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; and postsynapse to nucleus signaling pathway. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Orthologous to human CRTC1 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1). [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 Crtc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
