Gigyf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity and proline-rich region binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; mitotic G1 DNA damage checkpoint signaling; and spinal cord motor neuron differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic stress granule; and endosome. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cytosol; perikaryon; and proximal dendrite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human GIGYF2 (GRB10 interacting GYF protein 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 Gigyf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
