Elfn2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in synaptic membrane adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission; establishment of protein localization; and gene expression. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix; extracellular space; and postsynaptic density membrane. Orthologous to human ELFN2 (extracellular leucine rich repeat and fibronectin type III domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Elfn2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 42
- Leucine rich repeat
