MX2 - MX dynamin like GTPase 2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as MXB

Gene ID: 4600 | Gene type: protein coding

About MX2

Cytogenetic location: 21q22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:41,362,027-41,409,393 (from NCBI)

This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 102 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 16.5), appendix (RPKM 13.6) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene has a nuclear and a cytoplasmic form and is a member of both the Dynamin family and the family of large GTPases. The nuclear form is localized in a granular pattern in the heterochromatin region beneath the nuclear envelope. A nuclear localization signal (NLS) is present at the amino terminal end of the nuclear form but is lacking in the cytoplasmic form due to use of an alternate translation start codon. This protein is upregulated by interferon-alpha but does not contain the Antiviral activity of a similar myxovirus resistance protein 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
