Saxo1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cold acclimation; positive regulation of cilium assembly; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in motile cilium. Predicted to be active in microtubule cytoskeleton and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human SAXO1 (stabilizer of axonemal microtubules 1).

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 Saxo1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
