Ing2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; methylated histone binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; seminiferous tubule development; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of CCAAT-binding activity factor complex and Sin3-type complex. Orthologous to human ING2 (inhibitor of growth family member 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 Ing2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
