Spata2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable signaling receptor complex adaptor activity and ubiquitin-specific protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein deubiquitination; regulation of necroptotic process; and regulation of tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within seminiferous tubule development and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human SPATA2 (spermatogenesis associated 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 Spata2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
