Plcb4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in dendrite; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human PLCB4 (phospholipase C beta 4). [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 Plcb4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
