Generic protein structure example

Protein diaphanous homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DIAPH2 gene.[1][2]

Function

This gene may play a role in the development and normal function of the ovaries. Mutations of this gene have been linked to premature ovarian failure. Alternative splicing results in two protein isoforms.[2]

Interactions

DIAPH2 has been shown to interact with RhoD.[3]
