Spry4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein kinase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in animal organ development; negative regulation of signal transduction; and negative regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and negative regulation of MAP kinase activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 17 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human SPRY4 (sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 4). [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 Spry4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
