Dnm2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including D2 dopamine receptor binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within aorta development; coronary vasculature development; and ventricular septum development. Located in clathrin-coated pit and photoreceptor inner segment. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; oocyte; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study centronuclear myopathy; cystic kidney disease; microcytic anemia; and myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate B; centronuclear myopathy 1; and lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human DNM2 (dynamin 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 Dnm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
