Ehd2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including plasma membrane tubulation; positive regulation of endocytic recycling; and positive regulation of myoblast fusion. Predicted to act upstream of or within cortical actin cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in caveola and cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic vesicle; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human EHD2 (EH domain containing 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 Ehd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
