Astn2 - astrotactin 2

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and inositol 1,3,4,5 tetrakisphosphate binding activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of body hair planar orientation and negative regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Located in cell pole and endosome. Is integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human ASTN2 (astrotactin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
