Stc2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; heme binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including decidualization; embryo implantation; and response to vitamin D. Acts upstream of or within intracellular calcium ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human STC2 (stanniocalcin 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 Stc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
