Hint2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process and negative regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix. Orthologous to human HINT2 (histidine triad nucleotide binding protein 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 Hint2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
