Prkag2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables AMP binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Contributes to AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Involved in regulation of catalytic activity. Part of nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome; glycogen storage disease; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 6; and lethal congenital glycogen storage disease of heart. Orthologous to human PRKAG2 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit gamma 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 Prkag2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
