Rubcn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor activity and phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of autophagosome maturation; negative regulation of endocytosis; and negative regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in early endosome and late endosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 15. Orthologous to human RUBCN (rubicon autophagy regulator).

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 Rubcn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- domain involved in Ras-like GTPase signaling
- coiled-coil domain
- phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulator
- protein binding
- Putative zinc-RING and/or ribbon
- RUN domain
