Ccna2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytoplasm; female pronucleus; and male pronucleus. Part of cyclin A2-CDK1 complex and cyclin A2-CDK2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CCNA2 (cyclin A2).

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 Ccna2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
