Gene information for SSH2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID85464
Official gene symbolSSH2
Full nameslingshot homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Aliases,KIAA1725,MGC78588,SSH-2,
Gene summaryThe ADF (actin-depolymerizing factor)/cofilin family (see MIM 601442) is composed of stimulus-responsive mediators of actin dynamics. ADF/cofilin proteins are inactivated by kinases such as LIM domain kinase-1 (LIMK1; MIM 601329). The SSH family appears to play a role in actin dynamics by reactivating ADF/cofilin proteins in vivo (Niwa et al., 2002 [PubMed 11832213]).[supplied by OMIM]
