Cxcl16 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable chemokine activity; low-density lipoprotein particle receptor activity; and scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; response to tumor necrosis factor; and response to type II interferon. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CXCL16 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16).

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 Cxcl16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
