Rassf2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein stabilization; regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; negative regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; kinetochore; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human RASSF2 (Ras association domain family member 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 Rassf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
