Dctn2 - dynactin 2 Gene

Also Known as p50; RBP50; DCTN-50; GMP23-48K; 2310042E05Rik; C130077D06Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 69654

Summary

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within melanosome transport. Located in growth cone. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human DCTN2 (dynactin subunit 2).
