MICAL2 microtubule associated monooxygenase, calponin and LIM domain containing 2

Gene ID: 9645, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MICAL-2; MICALCL; Ebitein1; mical-cL; MICAL2PV1; MICAL2PV2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a monooxygenase that enhances depolymerization of F-actin and is therefore involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. The encoded protein is a regulator of the SRF signaling pathway. Increased expression of this gene has been associated with cancer progression and metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
