Got2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity; anion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dicarboxylic acid metabolic process; lactation; and response to insulin. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; mitochondrial inner membrane; and perikaryon. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; neurodegenerative disease; obesity; and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 82. Orthologous to human GOT2 (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 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 Got2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
