Icosl Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of interleukin-4 production. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and stomach. Orthologous to human ICOSLG (inducible T cell costimulator ligand). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 mouse Icosl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
