Rarres2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; response to activity; and response to caloric restriction. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; obesity; polycystic ovary syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human RARRES2 (retinoic acid receptor responder 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 Rarres2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
