Rad50 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA damage response; host-mediated suppression of symbiont invasion; and response to human chorionic gonadotropin. Located in several cellular components, including inclusion body; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study liver cirrhosis and myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in transitional cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RAD50 (RAD50 double strand break repair 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 Rad50 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
