Phkg2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables phosphorylase kinase activity. Involved in glycogen catabolic process and positive regulation of glycogen catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of phosphorylase kinase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycogen storage disease; glycogen storage disease IXc; and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human PHKG2 (phosphorylase kinase catalytic subunit gamma 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 Phkg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
