Dab2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of signal transduction; and positive regulation of transport. Located in clathrin-coated vesicle membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study myocardial infarction. Biomarker of metabolic acidosis and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human DAB2 (DAB adaptor protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Dab2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
