Hyal2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including hyalurononglucosaminidase activity; transforming growth factor beta binding activity; and virus receptor activity. Contributes to transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus; hyaluronan catabolic process; and positive regulation of protein import into nucleus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis; and positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in cell surface; membrane raft; and plasma membrane. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Colocalizes with external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; lateral plate mesoderm; respiratory system; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human HYAL2 (hyaluronidase 2).

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 Hyal2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
