Cdk5r2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables actin binding activity and cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in regulation of cytoskeleton organization. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; positive regulation of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis; and positive regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CDK5R2 (cyclin dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit 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 Cdk5r2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
