Ccna2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase regulator activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cocaine; cellular response to estradiol stimulus; and cellular response to peptide hormone stimulus. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and pronucleus. Predicted to be part of cyclin A2-CDK1 complex and cyclin A2-CDK2 complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule organizing center; and nucleus. Biomarker of myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human CCNA2 (cyclin A2).

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 Ccna2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
