Clec4e Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium ion binding activity; glycolipid binding activity; and pattern recognition receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in antifungal innate immune response; pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to act upstream of or within Fc-gamma receptor signaling pathway; T cell differentiation involved in immune response; and defense response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and phagocytic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human CLEC4E (C-type lectin domain family 4 member E).

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 Clec4e often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
