Hexim2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 7SK snRNA binding activity; cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase inhibitor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear speck. Orthologous to human HEXIM2 (HEXIM P-TEFb complex subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Hexim2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
