Dpysl2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in cyclic amides; identical protein binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including central nervous system development; positive regulation of glutamate secretion; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Located in several cellular components, including distal axon; myelin sheath; and neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynapse. Biomarker of brain ischemia; hypothyroidism; and status epilepticus. Orthologous to human DPYSL2 (dihydropyrimidinase like 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 Dpysl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
