Mab21l2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development; embryonic body morphogenesis; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coloboma and syndromic microphthalmia 14. Orthologous to human MAB21L2 (mab-21 like 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 Mab21l2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Mab-21 protein HhH/H2TH-like domain
- Mab-21 protein nucleotidyltransferase domain
- protein binding
