Ctla4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Involved in negative regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein complex involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Used to study myocarditis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); graft-versus-host disease; hematologic cancer (multiple); kidney disease (multiple); and primary immunodeficiency disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 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 Ctla4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
