Tenm2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of filopodium assembly; and retrograde trans-synaptic signaling by trans-synaptic protein complex. Located in dendritic spine and postsynaptic membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is extrinsic component of postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human TENM2 (teneurin transmembrane protein 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 Tenm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
