RT1-Bb Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable MHC class II protein complex binding activity and peptide antigen binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to morphine; and negative regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in cell surface. Used to study uveitis. Biomarker of pneumocystosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); bacterial infectious disease (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HLA-DQB1 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ beta 1). [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 Rt1-Bb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • binding protein
  • antigen binding domain
  • immunoglobulin domain
  • protein binding
  • peptide antigen binding
