Paip2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and translation repressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of translational initiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including memory; regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human PAIP2 (poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 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 Paip2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
