Prom2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of endocytosis; positive regulation of cell projection organization; and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in cell surface; plasma membrane; and prominosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; lung; and naris epithelium. Orthologous to human PROM2 (prominin 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 Prom2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
