Also known as DKFZp686D0972
Summary
ACTBL2 (actin beta like 2, HGNC:17780) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q11.2, encoding Beta-actin-like protein 2 (Q562R1). Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in axonogenesis and cell motility. Located in extracellular exosome and obsolete extracellular space.

Function. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
Subunit / interactions. Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others. Interacts with PFN1 and PFDN1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Post-translational modifications. Oxidation of Met-45 and Met-48 by MICALs (MICAL1, MICAL2 or MICAL3) to form methionine sulfoxide promotes actin filament depolymerization. MICAL1 and MICAL2 produce the (R)-S-oxide form. The (R)-S-oxide form is reverted by MSRB1 and MSRB2, which promote actin repolymerization. Monomethylation at Lys-85 (K84me1) regulates actin-myosin interaction and actomyosin-dependent processes. Demethylation by ALKBH4 is required for maintaining actomyosin dynamics supporting normal cleavage furrow ingression during cytokinesis and cell migration.
Miscellaneous. In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins coexist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility.
Similarity. Belongs to the actin family.
