Il34 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor binding activity. Involved in microglial cell proliferation; positive regulation of gene expression; and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and mammary gland. Orthologous to human IL34 (interleukin 34).

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 Il34 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
