Lnx2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables PDZ domain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within neural precursor cell proliferation and neuron differentiation. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and musculature. Orthologous to human LNX2 (ligand of numb-protein X 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 Lnx2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
