Anks4b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in brush border assembly; protein localization to microvillus; and protein-containing complex assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including brush border; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and microvillus. Orthologous to human ANKS4B (ankyrin repeat and sterile alpha motif domain containing 4B). [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 Anks4b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Sterile alpha motif
- transcription regulator
- Ankyrin repeats (many copies)
- SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
- Ankyrin repeats (3 copies)
- protein binding
- Ankyrin repeat
- ankyrin repeats
