Ssh2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity and phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of actin filament polymerization; positive regulation of cell migration; and protein dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle; cytoskeleton; and focal adhesion. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and neural retinal epithelium. Orthologous to human SSH2 (slingshot protein phosphatase 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 Ssh2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
