Fgl2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable peptidase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in parturition. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation via T cell receptor contact with antigen bound to MHC molecule on antigen presenting cell; negative regulation of antigen processing and presentation; and negative regulation of memory T cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human FGL2 (fibrinogen like 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 Fgl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
