Rasd2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables GTP binding activity; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of protein ubiquitination; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and positive regulation of protein sumoylation. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human RASD2 (RASD 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 Rasd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
