Angpt4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human ANGPT4 (angiopoietin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Angpt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
