Abhd2

Predicted to enable several functions, including acetylesterase activity; lipase activity; and nuclear steroid receptor activity. Involved in acrosome reaction. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of smooth muscle cell migration and response to wounding. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ABHD2 (abhydrolase domain containing 2, acylglycerol lipase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Abhd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
