Nme2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; intermediate filament binding activity; and kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; response to growth hormone; and ribonucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic process. Located in intermediate filament; mitochondrial membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in teratoma. Orthologous to several human genes including NME2 (NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 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 Nme2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
