Pla2g2d Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity; heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity; and heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerophospholipid metabolic process; negative regulation of T cell proliferation; and regulation of acute inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Predicted to act upstream of or within CD4-positive, CD25-positive, alpha-beta regulatory T cell differentiation and negative regulation of T cell activation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Orthologous to human PLA2G2D (phospholipase A2 group IID). [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 Pla2g2d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
