Rap2a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable GTPase activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in Rap protein signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell migration and positive regulation of protein autophosphorylation. Located in cytosol and recycling endosome membrane. Orthologous to human RAP2A (RAP2A, member of RAS oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Rap2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
