Fktn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphotransferase activity, for other substituted phosphate groups. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of JNK cascade; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and protein O-linked mannosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including basement membrane organization; brain development; and skeletal muscle fiber differentiation. Predicted to be located in cis-Golgi network; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy (multiple) and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human FKTN (fukutin).

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