Trpm2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; metal ion transmembrane transporter activity; and mono-ADP-D-ribose binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion import across plasma membrane; estrous cycle; and positive regulation of cellular response to oxidative stress. Located in neuronal cell body. Biomarker of transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human TRPM2 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 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 Trpm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
