Antxr2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within collagen fibril organization; single fertilization; and uterus development. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Used to study anthrax disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fibroma and hyaline fibromatosis syndrome. Orthologous to human ANTXR2 (ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 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 rat Antxr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
