Tnfsf8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable tumor necrosis factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to Gram-positive bacterium and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in membrane. Orthologous to human TNFSF8 (TNF superfamily member 8). [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 Tnfsf8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
