Ldb2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of cell migration; regulation of kinase activity; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial structure maintenance; hair follicle development; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cell leading edge; nuclear lumen; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human LDB2 (LIM domain binding 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 Ldb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
