Tppp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including magnesium ion binding activity; microtubule nucleator activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in myelin assembly and positive regulation of myelination. Located in postsynaptic Golgi apparatus. Orthologous to human TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein).

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