Abraxas2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nuclear chromosome segregation; protein K63-linked deubiquitination; and response to ischemia. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to freezing. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and midbody. Predicted to be part of BRISC complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ABRAXAS2 (abraxas 2, BRISC complex subunit). [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 Abraxas2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
