Golga2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables importin-alpha family protein binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Golgi disassembly; mitotic spindle assembly; and protein homotetramerization. Located in Golgi apparatus and neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human GOLGA2 (golgin A2). [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 Golga2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
