Lor Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton and structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in keratinocyte differentiation and peptide cross-linking. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cornified envelope. Orthologous to human LORICRIN (loricrin cornified envelope precursor protein). [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 Lor often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
