Fus Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity; myosin V binding activity; and nuclear receptor binding activity. Involved in cellular response to calcium ion. Located in dendritic spine head; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6; essential tremor 4; liposarcoma; and neurodegenerative disease. Orthologous to human FUS (FUS RNA binding protein). [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 Fus often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
