Ccnd2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; cellular response to X-ray; and long-term memory. Located in nucleus. Part of cyclin D2-CDK4 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); ductal carcinoma in situ; hepatitis B; and liver cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human CCND2 (cyclin D2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 mouse Ccnd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
