Also known as: C4l; C4-2
Summary: Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and complement component C1q complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in complement activation and positive regulation of apoptotic cell clearance. Predicted to act upstream of or within immunoglobulin mediated immune response. Located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; autoimmune disease (multiple); complement component 4b deficiency; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to several human genes including C4B (complement C4B (Chido/Rodgers blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

This study presents the genomic organization of the two C4 gene-containing modules and the expression of the two C4 genes in the rat (Rattus norvegicus). Most notably, C4-2 is not expressed in the liver.
Title: The rat expresses two complement factor C4 proteins, but only one isotype is expressed in the liver.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
