Cxcl9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable CXCR3 chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; neutrophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to virus; positive regulation of myoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of myoblast fusion. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CXCL9 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9).

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 Cxcl9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
