Ppbp Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable chemokine activity. Involved in positive regulation of granulocyte chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in platelet alpha granule. Biomarker of acute myocardial infarction and hypospadias. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PPBP (pro-platelet basic protein).

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