Xcr1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable C-C chemokine binding activity and C-C chemokine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-mediated signaling; cell chemotaxis; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemotaxis; release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol; and response to cytokine. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human XCR1 (X-C motif chemokine receptor 1). [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 Xcr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- G-protein coupled receptor
- Cholecystokinin A receptor, N-terminal
- chemokine receptor
- 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
