Tpst2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and protein-tyrosine sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in peptidyl-tyrosine sulfation. Predicted to act upstream of or within fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization and prevention of polyspermy. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in Golgi lumen and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human TPST2 (tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase 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 Tpst2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
