Prkcd Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables TIR domain binding activity; diacylglycerol-dependent, calcium-independent serine/threonine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including D-aspartate import across plasma membrane; positive regulation of D-glucose import; and positive regulation of MAP kinase activity. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Used to study brain ischemia and hypertension. Biomarker of hyperinsulinism; hypertension; muscular disease; obesity; and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 3 and steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human PRKCD (protein kinase C delta).

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