Notch2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; NF-kappaB binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in brain development; tissue regeneration; and wound healing. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alagille syndrome and Hajdu-Cheney syndrome. Orthologous to human NOTCH2 (notch receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Notch2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
