Ccl4

Enables chemokine activity. Involved in leukocyte chemotaxis; positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and positive regulation of vascular permeability. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; obesity; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to several human genes including CCL4 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Ccl4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
