Pias2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables nuclear receptor binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including androgen receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis; and response to testosterone. Acts upstream of or within regulation of androgen receptor signaling pathway. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human PIAS2 (protein inhibitor of activated STAT 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 Pias2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
