Background Descriptions | FMN2 is a member or the formin homology family, Cappuccino subfamily. Formin homology (FH) domain proteins play a role in cytoskeletal organization and/or establishment of cell polarity. In mice, FMN2 has been shown to be a maternal effect gene that is expressed in oocytes and is required for progression through metaphase of meiosis I. FMN2 is expressed in the developing and mature central nervous system. |

Function | Actin-binding protein that is involved in actin cytoskeleton assembly and reorganization (PubMed:21730168, PubMed:22330775). Acts as an actin nucleation factor and promotes assembly of actin filaments together with SPIRE1 and SPIRE2 (PubMed:21730168, PubMed:22330775). Involved in intracellular vesicle transport along actin fibers, providing a novel link between actin cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport (By similarity). Required for asymmetric spindle positioning, asymmetric oocyte division and polar body extrusion during female germ cell meiosis (By similarity). Plays a role in responses to DNA damage, cellular stress and hypoxia by protecting CDKN1A against degradation, and thereby plays a role in stress-induced cell cycle arrest (PubMed:23375502). Also acts in the nucleus: together with SPIRE1 and SPIRE2, promotes assembly of nuclear actin filaments in response to DNA damage in order to facilitate movement of chromatin and repair factors after DNA damage (PubMed:26287480). Protects cells against apoptosis by protecting CDKN1A against degradation (PubMed:23375502). |

Detected at the cleavage furrow during asymmetric oocyte division and polar body extrusion (By similarity). Accumulates in the nucleus following DNA damage (PubMed:26287480). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JL04, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20082305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26287480} |
