Dmxl2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in vacuolar acidification. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including corpus callosum development; glucose homeostasis; and spermatogenesis. Is active in synaptic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 71 and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 81. Orthologous to human DMXL2 (Dmx like 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 Dmxl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
