The encoded protein is a regulator of the SRF signaling pathway. Increased expression of this gene has been associated with cancer progression and metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: Nuclear monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin to form methionine-sulfoxide, resulting in actin filament disassembly and preventing repolymerization. In the absence of actin, it also functions as a NADPH oxidase producing H(2)O(2) (By similarity). Acts as a key regulator of the SRF signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum: mediates oxidation and subsequent depolymerization of nuclear actin, leading to increase MKL1/MRTF-A presence in the nucleus and promote SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A- dependent gene transcription. Does not activate SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A through RhoA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BML1, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8TDZ2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24440334}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |LIM| |Pyr redox 2| |FAD binding 3| |CH| |CAMSAP CH| |FAD binding 2| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |NADPH:sulfur oxidoreductase activity| |sulfur oxidation| |positive regulation of transcription via serum response element binding| |NAD(P)H oxidase activity| |actin filament depolymerization| |oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, NAD(P)H as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen| |FAD binding| |protein depolymerization| |actin polymerization or depolymerization| |heart looping| |embryonic heart tube morphogenesis| |determination of heart left/right asymmetry| |embryonic heart tube development| |determination of left/right symmetry| |oxidoreductase activity| |determination of bilateral symmetry| |specification of symmetry| |cellular protein complex disassembly| |protein-containing complex disassembly| |actin filament organization| |heart morphogenesis| |actin binding| |embryonic organ morphogenesis| |epithelial tube morphogenesis| |sulfur compound metabolic process| |cellular component disassembly| |morphogenesis of an epithelium| |embryonic organ development| |pattern specification process| |supramolecular fiber organization| |actin cytoskeleton organization| |heart development| |tissue morphogenesis| |embryonic morphogenesis| |actin filament-based process| |tube morphogenesis| |tube development| |circulatory system development| |animal organ morphogenesis| |oxidation-reduction process| |embryo development| |cytoskeleton organization| |epithelium development| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |tissue development| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp288|HMS-I2 10μM R06 exp288]]|-2.13| |[[:results:exp35|TRAIL 5ng/ml R00 exp35]]|-1.86| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 6279 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 2.84 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='MICAL2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 2.84'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
