Summary
KATNAL2 (katanin catalytic subunit A1 like 2, HGNC:25387) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q21.1, encoding Katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit A-like 2 (Q8IYT4). Severs microtubules in vitro in an ATP-dependent manner.
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic microtubule organization. Located in cytoplasm; microtubule; and spindle pole.
