Recombinant Human Protein diaphanous homolog 2 (DIAPH2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O60879

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DIAPH2

Target Full Name

Protein diaphanous homolog 2

Target Function

Could be involved in oogenesis. Involved in the regulation of endosome dynamics. Implicated in a novel signal transduction pathway, in which isoform 3 and CSK are sequentially activated by RHOD to regulate the motility of early endosomes through interactions with the actin cytoskeleton.

Target Involvement

Premature ovarian failure 2A (POF2A)

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Early endosome. Note=Isoform 3 is cytosolic but when coexpressed with RHOD, the 2 proteins colocalize to early endosomes.

Target Protein Families

Formin homology family, Diaphanous subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in testis, ovary, small intestine, prostate, lung, liver, kidney and leukocytes.

Target Background

The product of this gene belongs to the diaphanous subfamily of the formin homology family of proteins. This gene may play a role in the development and normal function of the ovaries. Defects in this gene have been linked to premature ovarian failure 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
