Function

Plays a role in neuronal development and polarity, as well as in axon growth and guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. May play a role in endocytosis.

Post-translational modifications

3F4, a monoclonal antibody which strongly stains neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer disease brains, specifically labels DPYSL2 when phosphorylated on Ser-518, Ser-522 and Thr-509.

Phosphorylation at Thr-514 by GSK3B abolishes tubulin-binding leading to destabilization of microtubule assembly in axons and neurodegeneration (By similarity). Phosphorylation by DYRK2 at Ser-522 is required for subsequent phosphorylation by GSK3B.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. Hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase family.
