G3bp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of stress granule assembly; protein homooligomerization; and stress granule assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic stress granule and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ovary; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human G3BP2 (G3BP stress granule assembly factor 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 G3bp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
