Abl2 Proteins

Protein Information

ABL2 (Arg) is an Abl-related non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that links cell surface receptors to cell proliferation and/or cytoskeletal reorganization. Abl2 encodes a member of the Abelson family of nonreceptor tyrosine protein kinase. The protein is highly similar to the ABL1 protein, including the tyrosine kinase, SH2 and SH3 domains, and has a role in cytoskeletal rearrangements by its C-terminal F-actin- and microtubule-binding sequences. Abl2 is expressed in both normal and tumor cells, and is involved in translocation with the ETV6 gene in leukemia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene.
