Chmp2b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of cell cycle process; regulation of synapse organization; and vacuolar transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including bounding membrane of organelle; kinetochore microtubule; and midbody. Predicted to be part of ESCRT III complex and nuclear pore. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse; multivesicular body; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to colocalize with late endosome and lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; fronto-nasal process; genitourinary system; spleen; and vibrissa. Used to study frontotemporal dementia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; frontotemporal dementia; and frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 7. Orthologous to human CHMP2B (charged multivesicular body protein 2B). [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 mouse Chmp2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
