Irak2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity and positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human IRAK2 (interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 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 Irak2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
