Efhc2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in flagellated sperm motility and regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in axonemal microtubule and ciliary basal body. Predicted to be active in axonemal A tubule inner sheath and sperm flagellum. Predicted to colocalize with microtubule. Orthologous to human EFHC2 (EF-hand domain containing 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 Efhc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
