Summary: 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; endosome; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human ASTN2 (astrotactin 2).

Astrotactin 2 (ASTN2) regulates emotional and cognitive functions by affecting neuronal morphogenesis and monoaminergic systems.
Title: Astrotactin 2 (ASTN2) regulates emotional and cognitive functions by affecting neuronal morphogenesis and monoaminergic systems.
Differences in the degree of Astn1 and Astn2 maturation possibly contribute to the higher levels of the C-terminal domain of Astn1 detected on neuronal membranes of the central nervous system
Title: Murine astrotactins 1 and 2 have a similar membrane topology and mature via endoproteolytic cleavage catalyzed by a signal peptidase.
This study has defined the transmembrane topology of mouse Astn2 and shown that this protein undergoes a single intramembrane proteolytic cleavage in the second of two transmembrane segments.
Title: Intramembrane Proteolysis of Astrotactins.
These experiments suggest that Astn2, an endosomal membrane protein, modulates Planar cell polarity signaling.
Title: Identification of Astrotactin2 as a Genetic Modifier That Regulates the Global Orientation of Mammalian Hair Follicles.
ASTN2 regulates the levels of ASTN1 in the plasma membrane and that the release of neuronal adhesions to the glial fiber during neuronal locomotion involves the intracellular trafficking of ASTN1.
Title: Astn2, a novel member of the astrotactin gene family, regulates the trafficking of ASTN1 during glial-guided neuronal migration.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
