Itln1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and oligosaccharide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of D-glucose import; protein homotrimerization; and response to nematode. Predicted to be located in brush border membrane and membrane raft. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including ITLN1 (intelectin 1). [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 rat Itln1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
