Tnks2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable NAD+ poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; NAD+-protein mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; and enzyme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in nuclear envelope; pericentriolar material; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human TNKS2 (tankyrase 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 Tnks2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
