Nova2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable sequence-specific mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of RNA metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human NOVA2 (NOVA alternative splicing regulator 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 Nova2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
