SSH2 - slingshot protein phosphatase 2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as SSH-2; SSH-2L

Gene ID: 85464 | Gene type: protein coding

About SSH2

Cytogenetic location: 17q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:29,625,938-29,930,228 (from NCBI)

This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 264 orthologues and 30 paralogues. Broad expression in lymph node (RPKM 6.2), appendix (RPKM 6.0) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein tyrosine Phosphatase that plays a key role in the regulation of actin filaments. The encoded protein dephosphorylates and activates cofilin, which promotes actin filament depolymerization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
