Gdap2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within response to retinoic acid. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; liver; orbito-sphenoid; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 27. Orthologous to human GDAP2 (ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 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 Gdap2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- macro domain
- Domain in homologues of a S
- Divergent CRAL/TRIO domain
- macrodomain superfamily
- protein binding
