Tnfaip8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process; molecular sequestering activity; and small molecule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human TNFAIP8 (TNF alpha induced protein 8). [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 Tnfaip8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
