INF2 inverted formin 2

Gene ID: 64423, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FSGS5; CMTDIE; pp9484; C14orf151; C14orf173

Summary

This gene represents a member of the formin family of proteins. It is considered a diaphanous formin due to the presence of a diaphanous inhibitory domain located at the N-terminus of the encoded protein. Studies of a similar mouse protein indicate that the protein encoded by this locus may function in polymerization and depolymerization of actin filaments. Mutations at this locus have been associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
