Chuk Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including protein dimerization activity; scaffold protein binding activity; and transferrin receptor binding activity. Predicted to contribute to IkappaB kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to acetate; response to cholecystokinin; and response to hydroperoxide. Part of IkappaB kinase complex. Used to study muscular atrophy. Biomarker of colitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fetal encasement syndrome; liver cancer; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human CHUK (component of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase complex). [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 Chuk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
