Alpk2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epicardium morphogenesis; heart development; and negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway involved in heart development. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human ALPK2 (alpha kinase 2).

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 Alpk2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
