Also Known as Defa; ratNP-1; ratNP-2

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 286995

Summary

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to Other organism; and positive regulation of membrane permeability. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle and midbody. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including DEFA5 (defensin alpha 5).
