Tnk2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables WW domain binding activity. Involved in spermatid development. Located in several cellular components, including endosome; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; nervous system; retina; submandibular gland primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human TNK2 (tyrosine kinase non receptor 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 Tnk2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
