Il33 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cytokine activity and interleukin-33 receptor binding activity. Involved in cellular response to mechanical stimulus and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of acute myocardial infarction; colon cancer; and diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; inflammatory bowel disease; and peptic ulcer disease. Orthologous to human IL33 (interleukin 33).

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 Il33 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
