About Spire2

Summary

Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Cytoskeleton organization; cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; and intracellular transport. Located in cell cortex and cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Colocalizes with cleavage furrow. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart ventricle; and limb. Orthologous to human SPIRE2 (spire type actin nucleation factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
