Mcoln2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables identical protein binding activity and iron ion transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within myeloid leukocyte migration and positive regulation of chemokine production. Located in recycling endosome. Is expressed in cochlea. Orthologous to human MCOLN2 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 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 Mcoln2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
