Apc2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity; gamma-catenin binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including activation of GTPase activity; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Is active in postsynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sotos syndrome 3; autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 74; complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations; and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human APC2 (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway 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 Apc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
