Atp1a2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and alkali metal ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including locomotory exploration behavior; neurotransmitter uptake; and response to auditory stimulus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of blood circulation; and regulation of muscle contraction. Located in T-tubule; cell projection; and neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; musculature; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study familial hemiplegic migraine 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alternating hemiplegia of childhood; electroclinical syndrome (multiple); hypertension; and migraine with aura (multiple). Orthologous to human ATP1A2 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 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 mouse Atp1a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
