Ticam2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phospholipid binding activity and signaling adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of signal transduction; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of innate immune response. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to virus and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; endosome; and phagocytic cup. Predicted to be active in endosome membrane. Orthologous to human TICAM2 (TIR domain containing adaptor molecule 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 Ticam2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
