Gene information for WASF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10163
Official gene symbolWASF2
Full nameWAS protein family, member 2
Aliases,SCAR2,WAVE2,dJ393P12.2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family. The gene product is a protein that forms a multiprotein complex that links receptor kinases and actin. Binding to actin occurs through a C-terminal verprolin homology domain in all family members. The multiprotein complex serves to tranduce signals that involve changes in cell shape, motility or function. The published map location (PMID:10381382) has been changed based on recent genomic sequence comparisons, which indicate that the expressed gene is located on chromosome 1, and a pseudogene may be located on chromosome X.
