GAS2-like protein 2

Definition:

Involved in the cross-linking of microtubules and microfilaments. Regulates microtubule dynamics and stability by interacting with microtubule plus-end tracking proteins, such as MAPRE1, to regulate microtubule growth along actin stress fibers. Enhances ADORA2-mediated adenylyl cyclase activation by acting as a scaffold to recruit trimeric G-protein complexes to ADORA2A (By similarity). Regulates ciliary orientation and performance in cells located in the airway.
