Zfp36l2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hemopoiesis; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of mRNA catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).

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 Zfp36l2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
