RT1-DOa Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable MHC class II protein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class II. Predicted to act upstream of or within antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II and regulation of T cell differentiation. Predicted to be part of MHC class II protein complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in occupational asthma. Orthologous to human HLA-DOA (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DO alpha). [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 Rt1-Doa often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Immunoglobulin C1-set domain
- MHC class II receptor
- binding protein
- immunoglobulin domain
- Class II histocompatibility antigen, alpha domain
- protein binding
- transmembrane receptor
