Bcap31 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable MHC class I protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; positive regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol; and protein localization to organelle. Predicted to act upstream of or within immune response. Located in Golgi cisterna membrane; clathrin-coated vesicle; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in deafness, dystonia, and cerebral hypomyelination and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human BCAP31 (B cell receptor associated protein 31).

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 Bcap31 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
