Slc15a4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables L-histidine transmembrane transporter activity and peptide:proton symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including L-histidine transmembrane export from vacuole; positive regulation of pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of isotype switching to IgG isotypes. Located in early endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human SLC15A4 (solute carrier family 15 member 4).

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 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.
