JAKMIP2

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

JAKMIP2 (Janus kinase and microtubule interacting protein 2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the JAKMIP2 gene. It is a member of the Janus kinase and microtubule interacting protein family, which is involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics and signal transduction.

Function[edit | edit source]

JAKMIP2 is a cytosolic protein that interacts with the microtubule network and has a role in the regulation of the cell cycle. It is thought to be involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics, which is crucial for cell motility, orientation, and division.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Alterations in the JAKMIP2 gene have been associated with various neurological disorders, including autism and schizophrenia. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of JAKMIP2 in these conditions.
