Mrc1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable D-mannose binding activity; cargo receptor activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to interleukin-4; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and cellular response to type II interferon. Predicted to be located in cell surface and endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human MRC1 (mannose receptor C-type 1).

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 Mrc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
