Mid2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including microtubule binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; negative regulation of viral transcription; and positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 101. Orthologous to human MID2 (midline 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 Mid2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
