Skp2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in cellular response to cell-matrix adhesion and positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate carcinoma. Orthologous to human SKP2 (S-phase kinase associated protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Skp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
