Plod2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Involved in cellular response to hormone stimulus and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; collagen-containing extracellular matrix; and endoplasmic reticulum. Biomarker of hypothyroidism. Orthologous to human PLOD2 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 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 Plod2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
