Tent2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable poly(A) RNA polymerase activity. Involved in several processes, including RNA polyadenylation at postsynapse; dark adaptation; and nervous system development. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; perforant pathway to dendrate granule cell synapse; and postsynapse. Orthologous to human TENT2 (terminal nucleotidyltransferase 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 Tent2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
