MT-RNR2 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; protein self-association; and receptor antagonist activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte chemotaxis; negative regulation of cell death; and negative regulation of neuroinflammatory response. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrion; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and sperm midpiece. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 human MT-RNR2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
