Also known as NEM7
Summary
CFL2 (cofilin 2, HGNC:1875) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q13.1, encoding Cofilin-2 (Q9Y281). Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner.
This gene encodes an intracellular protein that is involved in the regulation of actin-filament dynamics. This protein is a major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. It can bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin, and it reversibly controls actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene cause nemaline myopathy type 7, a form of congenital myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. Its F-actin depolymerization activity is regulated by association with CSPR3. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. Required for muscle maintenance. May play a role during the exchange of alpha-actin forms during the early postnatal remodeling of the sarcomere.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with CSRP3; possibly two molecules of CFL2 can interact with one molecule if CSRP3.
Subcellular location. Nucleus matrix. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Isoform CFL2b is expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle and heart. Isoform CFL2a is expressed in various tissues.
Post-translational modifications. The phosphorylation of Ser-24 may prevent recognition of the nuclear localization signal.
Disease relevance. Nemaline myopathy 7 (NEM7) [MIM:610687] A form of nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathies are muscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying severity and onset, and abnormal thread-like or rod-shaped structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination. Nemaline myopathy type 7 presents at birth with hypotonia and generalized weakness. Major motor milestones are delayed, but independent ambulation is achieved. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 79 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
