Summary
This gene encodes an enzyme that oxidizes methionine residues on actin, thereby promoting depolymerization of actin filaments. This protein interacts with and regulates signalling by NEDD9/CAS-L (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 9). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 31.4), lymph node (RPKM 25.8) and 23 other tissues See more

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.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate 5' exon and thus differs in its 5' UTR and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, and it lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the central coding region, compared to variant 3. The encoded isoform (2, also known as MICAL-1b) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform 3.
