Ntng2

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a subclass of the netrin family called netrin-G proteins. Unlike classic netrins, which act as diffusible chemoattractants, netrin-Gs are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins that interact with specific transmembrane proteins. In mouse, this gene is preferentially expressed in the cerebral cortex, habenular nucleus and superior colliculus. Knockout mutant mice display a lack of behavioral startle in response to acoustic stimuli. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

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 Ntng2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
