Prkcg Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium,diacylglycerol-dependent serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including long-term synaptic potentiation; response to angiotensin; and response to psychosocial stress. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and synaptic membrane. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 14. Orthologous to human PRKCG (protein kinase C gamma). [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 Prkcg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
