Irak4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables interleukin-1 receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cell surface; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in aorta-gonad-mesonephros; central nervous system; liver; retina; and ureteric trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human IRAK4 (interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 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 Irak4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
