Epb41l2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables PH domain binding activity and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actomyosin structure organization and positive regulation of protein localization to cell cortex. Predicted to act upstream of or within actin cytoskeleton organization and regulation of cell shape. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; cell cortex; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of COP9 signalosome. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; central nervous system; sensory organ; thymus; and urinary system. Orthologous to human EPB41L2 (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 like 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 Epb41l2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
