Summary
This gene was identified by its similarity to the gene for human adenylyl cyclase-associated protein. The function of the protein encoded by this gene is unknown. However, the protein appears to be able to interact with adenylyl cyclase-associated protein and actin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

  7. Study used lysine-to-glutamine mutations to map the relevant lysines on actin for INF2 regulation. K50Q- and K61Q-actin, when bound to CAP2, inhibit full-length INF2 but not INF2 lacking inhibitory domain (DID). CAP WH2 domain binds INF2-DID with submicromolar affinity but has weak affinity for actin monomers, while INF2-C-terminal diaphanous autoregulatory domain binds CAP/K50Q-actin 5-fold better than CAP/WT-actin.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
