Agap2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity; protein kinase activator activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glycine; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in dendrite and external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to human AGAP2 (ArfGAP with GTPase domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 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 Agap2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
