Many genes are conserved in function between species, many genes yet to be identified are identified using database searches of similar sequences already existing from previous research. Once such matches are found it is easy to study the function and structure of the target, once again matching it with database entries and even evolution pathes may be studied. Human genes are often matched with other organisms of scientific study such as the mouse, the new protein (haloacid dehalogenase-like hydrolase domain containing 2) is found in humans and a close similarity is found in the mouse genome.

The new protein is thought to have properties similar to hydrolase which performs catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds which is where its name comes from.

Subsequent analyse and research on the structure, function and evolutionary aspects will hopefully indicate what properties the protein may have and similar proteins already identified and studied in other species.
