Rgl2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of Ral protein signal transduction. Orthologous to human RGL2 (ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator 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 rat Rgl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
