Pik3r2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including insulin receptor signaling pathway; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of protein import into nucleus. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell adhesion; regulation of actin filament organization; and regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in focal adhesion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; genitourinary system; liver; musculature; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human PIK3R2 (phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 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 Pik3r2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
