Plekhh2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of actin filament depolymerization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cortical actin cytoskeleton; lamellipodium; and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human PLEKHH2 (pleckstrin homology, MyTH4 and FERM domain containing H2). [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 Plekhh2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
