Poc1b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including organelle assembly; positive regulation of centriole elongation; and retina homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homeostasis of number of cells; single fertilization; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in centrosome and spindle pole. Predicted to be active in centriole and ciliary basal body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 20. Orthologous to human POC1B (POC1 centriolar protein B). [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 Poc1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
