Copb2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi vesicle transport and intracellular protein transport. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including incisor; liver lobe; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 19. Orthologous to human COPB2 (COPI coat complex subunit beta 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 Copb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
