Abl2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables magnesium ion binding activity; manganese ion binding activity; and protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of T cell migration; positive regulation of establishment of T cell polarity; and synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell differentiation; nervous system development; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; lamellipodium; and phagocytic cup. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; diaphragm; hemolymphoid system gland; hindlimb long bone; and seminiferous cord. Orthologous to human ABL2 (ABL proto-oncogene 2, non-receptor tyrosine kinase). [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 Abl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
