Kirrel2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion and negative regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in plasma membrane and slit diaphragm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; foregut-midgut junction; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and spleen. Orthologous to human KIRREL2 (kirre like nephrin family adhesion molecule 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 Kirrel2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
