gene geneOn this page
Summary
PFN2 (profilin 2, HGNC:8882) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q25.1, encoding Profilin-2 (P35080). Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton.
The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms described for this gene.

Function. Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG.
Subunit / interactions. Occurs in many kinds of cells as a complex with monomeric actin in a 1:1 ratio. Interacts with PFN2. Interacts with ACTMAP (via N-terminus); the interaction may facilitate efficient cleavage of the acetylated N-terminus of immature actin by ACTMAP. Interacts with ACTMAP (via N-terminus); the interaction may facilitate efficient cleavage of the acetylated N-terminus of immature actin by ACTMAP.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and kidney and less strongly in heart, placenta, lung and liver.
Similarity. Belongs to the profilin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 86 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.
