SLC15A4 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables L-histidine transmembrane transporter activity; peptide transmembrane transporter activity; and peptidoglycan transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including dipeptide import across plasma membrane; peptidoglycan transport; and positive regulation of toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Located in endolysosome membrane. Is integral component of lysosomal membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 human SLC15A4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
