Peli2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of MAPK cascade and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and membrane. Orthologous to human PELI2 (pellino E3 ubiquitin protein ligase family member 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 Peli2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
