Dock5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Rac protein signal transduction; positive regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within bone remodeling and podosome assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol and podosome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human DOCK5 (dedicator of cytokinesis 5). [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 Dock5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
