ANKLE2 ankyrin repeat and LEM domain containing 2

Gene ID: 23141, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Lem4; LEMD7; MCPH16; KIAA0692

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the LEM family of inner nuclear membrane proteins. The encoded protein functions as a mitotic regulator through postmitotic formation of the nuclear envelope. Mutations in this gene cause morphology defects in the nuclear envelope and BAF hyperphosphorylation. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
