Cyfip2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Involved in dendrite extension and positive regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway. Part of SCAR complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; skin; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 65. Orthologous to human CYFIP2 (cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 2).

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 mouse Cyfip2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
