Stag2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitotic spindle assembly and sister chromatid cohesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in mitotic spindle pole and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of mitotic cohesin complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Holoprosencephaly 13, X-linked and Mullegama-Klein-Martinez syndrome. Orthologous to human STAG2 (STAG2 cohesin complex component). [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 Stag2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
