Telo2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including Hsp90 protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' cotranslational protein folding and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of TTT Hsp90 cochaperone complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human TELO2 (telomere maintenance 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 Telo2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
