Relb Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables DNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to osmotic stress. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centrosome; chromatin; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and synapse. Used to study kidney disease; muscular atrophy; and ureteral obstruction. Biomarker of prediabetes syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and immunodeficiency 53. Orthologous to human RELB (RELB proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit).

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