Sun5

Predicted to enable protein-membrane adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in spermatid development. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein-containing complex assembly; regulation of protein localization; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear inner membrane. Predicted to be part of meiotic nuclear membrane microtubule tethering complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear envelope and sperm head-tail coupling apparatus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 16. Orthologous to human SUN5 (Sad1 and UNC84 domain containing 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Sun5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.
