Clec4a4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables carbohydrate derivative binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antifungal innate immune response; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and plasmacytoid dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; and prostate gland. Orthologous to human CLEC4A (C-type lectin domain family 4 member A).

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 Clec4a4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
