Terb2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis and meiotic attachment of telomere to nuclear envelope. Predicted to act upstream of or within meiosis I; oogenesis; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be active in nuclear inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 59. Orthologous to human TERB2 (telomere repeat binding bouquet formation 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 Terb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
