Ocm2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium ion binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in cochlea development and response to wounding. Located in several cellular components, including cuticular plate; extracellular space; and stereocilium. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to several human genes including OCM (oncomodulin). [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 Ocm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
