Summary: Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in actin filament fragmentation and skeletal muscle tissue development. Acts upstream of or within actin filament organization; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and sarcomere organization. Predicted to be located in Z disc. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; musculature; myotome; neural retinal epithelium; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 7. Orthologous to human CFL2 (cofilin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

miR-301a regulates Cofilin-2 in vitro in NRVCM, and in vivo in Cs1-ko mice. Our findings provide an additional and important layer of Cfl2 regulation, which we believe has an extended role in cardiac signal transduction and dilated cardiomyopathy presumably due to the reported involvement of Cfl2 in these mechanisms.

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.
