Shroom family member 2
Shroom family member 2 (also known as Shroom2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHROOM2 gene. This protein is a member of the Shroom protein family, which is characterized by a conserved SH3 domain and a semi-conserved PDZ domain.
Function[edit | edit source]
Shroom2 is involved in the regulation of cell shape and cellular architecture, particularly during embryonic development. It plays a crucial role in neural tube formation and neuronal differentiation. Shroom2 is also implicated in the establishment of cell polarity and actin organization.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The Shroom2 protein consists of several domains, including an SH3 domain at the N-terminus and a PDZ domain at the C-terminus. The SH3 domain is involved in protein-protein interactions, while the PDZ domain is responsible for binding to the cytoskeleton.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the SHROOM2 gene have been associated with X-linked intellectual disability. Studies have also suggested a potential role for Shroom2 in the progression of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
