Il34 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including interleukin-34-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell development; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of MAP kinase activity and positive regulation of protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human IL34 (interleukin 34). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Il34 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
