Dact2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell morphogenesis; inner medullary collecting duct development; and negative regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human DACT2 (dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 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 Dact2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
