Rai1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of growth and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Smith-Magenis syndrome. Orthologous to human RAI1 (retinoic acid induced 1). [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 Rai1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
