Nrg2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables epidermal growth factor receptor activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in ERBB signaling pathway and regulation of synapse organization. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; extracellular space; and glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human NRG2 (neuregulin 2). [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 Nrg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
