Ssu2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable heat shock protein binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in odontogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blood; brain; heart; and liver. Used to study dentin dysplasia. Orthologous to human SSUH2 (ssu-2 homolog).

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 Ssu2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Zinc finger domain of DnaJ and HSP40
- DnaJ central domain
