Rps2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
A structural constituent of ribosome. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interleukin-4. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in embryo; liver; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RPS2 (ribosomal protein S2). [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 Rps2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
