Magi2 - membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain containing 2

Enables SMAD binding activity and type II activin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including SMAD protein signal transduction; neuroligin clustering involved in postsynaptic membrane assembly; and positive regulation of synaptic vesicle clustering. Acts upstream of or within signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm; dendrite; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and vibrissa. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 15. Orthologous to human MAGI2 (membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain containing 2).
