Tnks2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; enzyme binding activity; and protein ADP-ribosylase activity. Involved in several processes, including protein ADP-ribosylation; protein localization to chromosome, telomeric region; and regulation of telomere maintenance. Located in nuclear envelope; pericentriolar material; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 Tnks2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
