Ppp1r1b Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables dopamine receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including memory; response to cocaine; and response to nicotine. Located in dendritic spine head and dendritic spine neck. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Used to study depressive disorder; schizophrenia; status epilepticus; and withdrawal disorder. Biomarker of Huntington's disease and brain infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PPP1R1B (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B). [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 Ppp1r1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
