Clec12a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable pattern recognition receptor activity and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of dendritic cell differentiation; negative regulation of leukocyte activation; and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CLEC12A (C-type lectin domain family 12 member A). [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 Clec12a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
