KANK2 KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains 2

Gene ID: 25959, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SIP; MXRA3; PPKWH; NPHS16; ANKRD25

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains (KANK) family of proteins, which play a role in cytoskeletal formation by regulating actin polymerization. The encoded protein functions in the sequestration of steroid receptor coactivators and possibly other proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with impaired kidney podocyte function and nephrotic syndrome, and keratoderma and woolly hair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
