Protein phosphatase Slingshot homolog 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q76I76

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Protein phosphatase which regulates actin filament dynamics. Dephosphorylates and activates the actin binding/depolymerizing factor cofilin, which subsequently binds to actin filaments and stimulates their disassembly. Inhibitory phosphorylation of cofilin is mediated by LIMK1, which may also be dephosphorylated and inactivated by this protein (PubMed:11832213). Required for spermatogenesis (By similarity). Involved in acrosome biogenesis, probably by regulating cofilin-mediated actin cytoskeleton remodeling during proacrosomal vesicle fusion and/or Golgi to perinuclear vesicle trafficking (By similarity).
