ID:MARE2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 2; AltName: Full=APC-binding protein EB2; AltName: Full=End-binding protein 2; Short=EB2; FUNCTION: May be involved in microtubule polymerization, and spindle function by stabilizing microtubules and anchoring them at centrosomes. May play a role in cell migration (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with DCTN1. Binds to the C-terminal domain of APC. Binds monomeric and polymerized tubulin. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Associated with the microtubule network. Accumulates at the plus end of microtubules. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in different tumor cell lines. Up- regulated in activated B- and T-lymphocytes. DOMAIN: Composed of two functionally independent domains. The N- terminal domain forms an hydrophobic cleft involved in microtubule binding and the C-terminal is involved in the formation of mutually exclusive complexes with APC and DCTN1. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MAPRE family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CH (calponin-homology) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 EB1 C-terminal domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA83375.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
