Wwp2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transport; protein ubiquitination; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human WWP2 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Wwp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
