Rbm4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and cyclin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including IRES-dependent translational initiation of linear mRNA; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and regulation of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic stress granule; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human RBM4 (RNA binding motif protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Rbm4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
