Parvb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment or maintenance of cell polarity regulating cell shape; lamellipodium assembly; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; focal adhesion; and lamellipodium. Orthologous to human PARVB (parvin beta). [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 Parvb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- CH2 domain (from immunoglobulin)
- alpha actinin binding domain
- calponin homology (CH) domain superfamily
- protein binding
