Gga2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport and protein localization to cell surface. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and clathrin-coated vesicle. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; liver; lung; small intestine; and white fat. Orthologous to human GGA2 (golgi associated, gamma adaptin ear containing, ARF binding protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Gga2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
