Ampd2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable AMP deaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in purine nucleotide metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; energy homeostasis; and podocyte development. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 63 and pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 9. Orthologous to human AMPD2 (adenosine monophosphate deaminase 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 Ampd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
