LANCL2

Function

Necessary for abscisic acid (ABA) binding on the cell membrane and activation of the ABA signaling pathway in granulocytes.

Post-translational modifications

Myristoylated. Essential for membrane association.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the LanC-like protein family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in brain and testis.

Cellular localization

  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell membrane
  • Localizes to the juxta-nuclear vesicles (PubMed:16979580). Associates with the cortical actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:16979580). Cholesterol depletion by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin causes partial dissociation from the cell membrane in vitro and an enhanced cell detachment from the matrix in vivo (PubMed:16979580). Membrane-association is important for the increased cellular sensitivity to an anticancer drug (adriamycin) (PubMed:16979580).
