Pacs2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion homeostasis; mitochondrion-endoplasmic reticulum membrane tethering; and protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein localization to phagophore assembly site. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; limb segment; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 66. Orthologous to human PACS2 (phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 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 Pacs2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
