Dipk2a

Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle cell proliferation; positive regulation of protein kinase C activity; and regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of smooth muscle cell apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in COPI-coated vesicle; Golgi membrane; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of COPI vesicle coat. Orthologous to human DIPK2A (divergent protein kinase domain 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Dipk2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
