Slamf8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in B-1 B cell lineage commitment; immune response; and regulation of B cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including leukocyte chemotaxis involved in inflammatory response; negative regulation of leukocyte migration; and negative regulation of respiratory burst involved in inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in membrane. Orthologous to human SLAMF8 (SLAM family member 8). [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 Slamf8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
