C1qtnf1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable collagen binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of platelet aggregation; positive regulation of aldosterone secretion; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of MAPK cascade; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of glucose metabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human C1QTNF1 (C1q and TNF related 1).

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 C1qtnf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
