Zpbp2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in acrosome assembly and binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Predicted to act upstream of or within membrane lipid metabolic process and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cell body. Predicted to be part of zona pellucida receptor complex. Predicted to be active in acrosomal vesicle. Orthologous to human ZPBP2 (zona pellucida binding protein 2).

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 Zpbp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
