Obscn Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction and protein autophosphorylation. Located in M band and Z disc. Orthologous to human OBSCN (obscurin, cytoskeletal calmodulin and titin-interacting RhoGEF). [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 Obscn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
