Phactr2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization. Is expressed in several structures, including body cavity or lining; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human PHACTR2 (phosphatase and actin regulator 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 Phactr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
