Tyk2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables type 1 angiotensin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of interleukin-12 receptor complex and interleukin-23 receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 35. Orthologous to human TYK2 (tyrosine kinase 2). [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 Tyk2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
