Prkdc Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; U3 snoRNA binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; negative regulation of cellular senescence; and negative regulation of response to gamma radiation. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including nucleus; protein-DNA complex; and small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Used to study severe combined immunodeficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 26. Orthologous to human PRKDC (protein kinase, DNA-activated, catalytic subunit). [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 Prkdc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
