    basic FUNCTION
  • maybe involved in cytokinesis
  • essential for retaining receptor-signaling pathways in the primary cilium
  • exhibit oncogenic function
  • SEPTIN2-mediated cytoskeletal rearrangement and STMN1-mediated differentiation may contribute to changes in cell morphology and differentiation of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells with CD99 upregulation in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
  • SEPT2 and SEPT7 are involved in breast carcinogenesis
  • SEPTIN2, SEPTIN7, and SEPTIN9 are required for efficient bacterial invasion
  • cooperative function between CDK2 and SEPTIN2
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • SEPT2 forms a 1:1:1 complex with SEPT7 and SEPT9 and the three members of this complex colocalize along the length of the axoneme
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
    GTP binding
    protein
  • S100 calcium binding protein A4, S100A4
  • septin 6 and 7
  • phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory subunit 2 (beta), PIK3R2
  • MAP4, which is a binding partner of SEPT2, controls the accessibility of septins to microtubules
  • PPARG could inhibit Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth via regulating the expression and blocking the oncogenic function of SEPT2

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • knockdown of SEPT2 causes stress fibers to disintegrate and cells to lose polarity
  • depletion of SEPT2 result in loss of ciliary membrane protein localization and Sonic hedgehog signal transduction, and inhibited ciliogenesis
