Tk1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fetal process involved in parturition; response to cortisol; and thymidine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human TK1 (thymidine kinase 1). [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 Tk1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
