Txk Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within NK T cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human TXK (TXK tyrosine kinase). [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 Txk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
