Function

Involved in transcription regulation by sequestering in the cytoplasm nuclear receptor coactivators such as NCOA1, NCOA2 and NCOA3 (PubMed:17476305). Involved in regulation of caspase-independent apoptosis by sequestering the proapoptotic factor AIFM1 in mitochondria (PubMed:22371500). Pro-apoptotic stimuli can induce its proteasomal degradation allowing the translocation of AIFM1 to the nucleus to induce apoptosis (PubMed:22371500). Involved in the negative control of vitamin D receptor signaling pathway (PubMed:24671081). Involved in actin stress fibers formation through its interaction with ARHGDIA and the regulation of the Rho signaling pathway (PubMed:17996375, PubMed:25961457). May thereby play a role in cell adhesion and migration, regulating for instance podocytes migration during development of the kidney (PubMed:25961457). Through the Rho signaling pathway may also regulate cell proliferation (By similarity).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

The KANK2 protein or KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains 2 plays a role in modulating the cytoskeleton by interacting with the actin network. It weighs around 86 kDa. KANK2 is expressed in various tissues with notable levels in the kidneys and testes. Its location in the cell membrane allows it to contribute to maintaining cellular structure and enabling intracellular communication.

Biological function summary

KANK2 interacts with multiple proteins and is a part of a protein complex involved in cytoskeletal organization. It functions by modulating microtubule dynamics and stabilizing cell-cell junctions impacting cellular adhesion and migration processes. The ankyrin repeat domains in KANK2 facilitate these interactions which are essential for the integrity and function of cellular structures.

Pathways

KANK2 participates in signaling pathways related to cytoskeleton rearrangement and cell adhesion. It interacts with proteins such as Rho GTPases that regulate these pathways. Through these interactions KANK2 plays a role in controlling cell shape and motility which are significant in processes like wound healing and embryonic development.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in KANK2 expression or function have associations with diseases like nephrotic syndrome and some cancers. In nephrotic syndrome KANK2 mutations can disrupt the kidney filtration barrier leading to the condition. Its interaction with proteins such as nephrin highlights its role in maintaining podocyte function which is important in kidney health.
