RT1-Ba

Predicted to enable MHC class II protein complex binding activity and peptide antigen binding activity. Involved in cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus and negative regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane and lysosome. Predicted to be part of MHC class II protein complex. Predicted to be active in late endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Used to study uveitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); glomerulonephritis (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and systemic scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human HLA-DQA1 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 1) and HLA-DQA2 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 2).

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 rat Rt1-Ba often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

Biological processes and signaling networks where the Rt1-Ba gene in rat plays a role, providing insight into its function and relevance in health or disease.
