SEPTIN2

SEPTIN2 Gene Summary

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; regulation of exocytosis; and smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of L-glutamate import across plasma membrane and regulation of protein localization. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; photoreceptor connecting cilium; and sperm annulus. Part of septin complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
