Plod2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in collagen fibril organization; hydroxylysine biosynthetic process; and peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Predicted to be located in rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; collagen-containing extracellular matrix; and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; cranium; and sensory organ. Used to study Bruck syndrome. Orthologous to human PLOD2 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 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 Plod2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
