Pdcd4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and positive regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; epithelium; oocyte; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human PDCD4 (programmed cell death 4). [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 mouse Pdcd4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
