Diaph2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables actin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; ephrin receptor signaling pathway; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in actin filament. Is expressed in brain and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency and primary ovarian insufficiency 2A. Orthologous to human DIAPH2 (diaphanous related formin 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 Diaph2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
