P4ha2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables procollagen-proline 4-dioxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-proline hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-L-proline. Part of procollagen-proline 4-dioxygenase complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; pectoral girdle and thoracic body wall musculature; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopia. Orthologous to human P4HA2 (prolyl 4-hydroxylase 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 P4ha2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
