Gbp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and pyrophosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to interferon-beta; cytolysis in another organism; and positive regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to other organism; and protein-containing complex assembly. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and symbiont-containing vacuole membrane. Is active in symbiont cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including GBP2 (guanylate binding protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gbp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
