This gene is a member of the septin family of nucleotide binding proteins, originally described in yeast as cell division cycle regulatory proteins. Septins are highly conserved in yeast, Drosophila, and mouse, and appear to regulate cytoskeletal organiza
Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
Septin-4 (Bradeion beta) (Brain protein H5) (CE5B3 beta) (Cell division control-related protein 2) (hCDCREL-2) (Peanut-like protein 2)
Protein function
Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (Probable). Pro-apoptotic protein involved in LGR5-positive intestinal stem cell and Paneth cell expansion in the intestines, via its interaction with XIAP (By similarity). May also play a role in the regulat
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues with highest expression in adult brain (at protein level), heart, liver and adrenal gland and fetal heart, kidney, liver and lung. Expressed in presynaptic terminals of dopaminergic neurons p
