Clec5a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable virus receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including innate immune response; osteoblast development; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to act upstream of or within myeloid cell differentiation and negative regulation of myeloid cell apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cell surface; cytosol; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CLEC5A (C-type lectin domain containing 5A). [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 Clec5a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- extracellular domain
- viral receptor
- C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
- transmembrane domain
- Lectin C-type domain
- protein binding
