Description

HDDC2 (HD domain containing 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6q21. The encoded protein contains an HD domain, which is a metal-dependent phosphohydrolase domain found in a variety of enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism and signaling. HDDC2 is widely expressed in human tissues, with highest levels in the brain, testis, and kidney. Its precise biological function remains under investigation, but it is implicated in cellular processes such as RNA metabolism and signal transduction.

Protein Summary

The HDDC2 protein (UniProt Q7Z4H3) is 337 amino acids long and contains an HD domain (residues 42-170) characteristic of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases. It is predicted to localize to the cytoplasm and may participate in nucleotide or RNA metabolism. Structural studies suggest it binds divalent metal ions (e.g., Mg2+ or Mn2+). The protein is conserved across eukaryotes, indicating a fundamental cellular role.
