Summary: Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in cell-cell adhesion. Located in hemidesmosome. Is expressed in hypodermis; neurons; and uterus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in partial lipodystrophy; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 9. Orthologous to human LMNB2 (lamin B2).

What's a GeneRIF?

Results suggest that the head domain contains redundant signals for IF localization, whereas non-redundant essential functions map to the IFA-2 tail, although the tail is unlikely to be directly involved in fibrous organelle localization.
Title: The tail domain is essential but the head domain dispensable for C. elegans intermediate filament IFA-2 function.
