geneOn this page
Also known as KIAA1902
Summary
FMNL2 (formin like 2, HGNC:18267) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q23.3, encoding Formin-like protein 2 (Q96PY5). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization.
This gene encodes a formin-related protein. Formin-related proteins have been implicated in morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and cell polarity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described but their full-length nature has yet to be determined.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the cortical actin filament dynamics.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Domain organisation. The DAD domain regulates activation via by an autoinhibitory interaction with the GBD/FH3 domain. This autoinhibition is released upon competitive binding of an activated GTPase. The release of DAD allows the FH2 domain to then nucleate and elongate nonbranched actin filaments.
Similarity. Belongs to the formin homology family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 51 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.
