Arid2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell migration; nucleosome disassembly; and positive regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to act upstream of or within embryonic organ development; heart development; and homeostatic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of SWI/SNF complex and brahma complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome 6; colorectal cancer; and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human ARID2 (AT-rich interaction domain 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 Arid2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
