Clec16a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; protein destabilization; and regulation of catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of mitophagy; negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and positive regulation of autophagosome maturation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endolysosome membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to colocalize with late endosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Addison's disease; multiple sclerosis; rheumatoid arthritis; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CLEC16A (C-type lectin domain containing 16A). [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 Clec16a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
