Tdrd9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; RNA binding activity; and helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including male meiosis I; regulatory ncRNA-mediated gene silencing; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within transposable element silencing. Predicted to be located in piP-body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 30. Orthologous to human TDRD9 (tudor domain containing 9). [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 Tdrd9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
