Summary: Enables actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including centrosome localization; nuclear migration; and regulation of cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fibroblast migration; nuclear envelope organization; and protein localization to nucleus. Located in Z disc and nuclear outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 5. Orthologous to human SYNE2 (spectrin repeat containing nuclear envelope protein 2).

Nesprins are mechanotransducers that discriminate epithelial-mesenchymal transition programs.

Study found the lack of an overt retinal phenotype in Syne-2/Nesprin-2 KO mice suggests the usage of alternative translational start sites, producing Syne-2 splice variants with an intact Pcnt interaction site.

Nesprin-2G knockout fibroblasts exhibit reduced migration, changes in focal adhesion composition, and reduced ability to generate traction forces.
Title: Nesprin-2G knockout fibroblasts exhibit reduced migration, changes in focal adhesion composition, and reduced ability to generate traction forces.
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of Syne-2 in cell culture led to an overexpression and mislocalization of Pcnt and to ciliogenesis defects. This suggests that the Pcnt-Syne-2 complex is important for ciliogenesis and outer segment formation during retinal development and plays a role in nuclear migration.

SYNE2 is important for normal retinal development. We have determined that not only is photoreceptor nuclear migration affected, but also the positions of Muller glia and secondary neurons are disturbed early in retinal development

nesprin-dependent recruitment of kinesin-1 to the nuclear envelope through the interaction of a conserved LEWD motif with kinesin light chain might be a general mechanism for cell-type-specific nuclear positioning during development.
Title: Nesprins anchor kinesin-1 motors to the nucleus to drive nuclear distribution in muscle cells.
Loss of Nesprin 1 or 2, or both, led to impairment of gene expression changes in response to biomechanical stimuli. These data suggest a model whereby biomechanical signals are communicated from proteins of the outer nuclear membrane
Title: Targeted ablation of nesprin 1 and nesprin 2 from murine myocardium results in cardiomyopathy, altered nuclear morphology and inhibition of the biomechanical gene response.
ectopic expression of BRAP2 inhibits nuclear localization of HMG20A and NuMA1, and prevents nuclear envelope accumulation of SYNE2
Title: The BRCA1-binding protein BRAP2 can act as a cytoplasmic retention factor for nuclear and nuclear envelope-localizing testicular proteins.

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.
