Ooep Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and positive regulation of meiotic nuclear division. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryo implantation; establishment or maintenance of apical/basal cell polarity; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in apical part of cell; cell cortex; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of subcortical maternal complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human OOEP (oocyte expressed 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 Ooep often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- K homology (KH) RNA-binding domain, type I
- KH-like RNA-binding domain
