Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: Rag-2
Summary: Enables several functions, including phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in T cell differentiation in thymus; V(D)J recombination; and pre-B cell allelic exclusion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell homeostatic proliferation; lymphocyte differentiation; and positive regulation of organ growth. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of DNA recombinase complex. Is expressed in gut; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Used to study Omenn syndrome and severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, Nk cell-positive. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Omenn syndrome; combined cellular and humoral immune defects with granulomas; severe combined immunodeficiency; and severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, Nk cell-positive. Orthologous to human RAG2 (recombination activating 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
