Gene:
fascin homolog 2, actin-bundling protein, retinal (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)
Gene ID:
193279
Symbol:
FSCN2
Species:
1000
Description:
FSCN2, or retinal fascin, is a photoreceptor-specific paralog of the actin-bundling protein fascin (FSCN1; MIM 602689). Fascins crosslink F-actin into highly ordered bundles within dynamic cell extensions, such as neuronal growth cone filopodia.[supplied by OMIM]
