AMIGO2 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and negative regulation of programmed cell death. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of synapse assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleus and plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Biomarker of gastric adenocarcinoma. [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 AMIGO2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- Immunoglobulin I-set domain
- Leucine rich repeat
- Leucine rich repeat C-terminal domain
- protein binding
- Leucine Rich repeats (2 copies)
