DACT2 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell morphogenesis; inner medullary collecting duct development; and negative regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [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 DACT2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
