Official Full Name: ABL proto-oncogene 2, non-receptor tyrosine kinase
Also known as: ARG; ABLL
This gene encodes a member of the Abelson family of non-receptor tyrosine protein kinases. This protein is highly similar to c-abl oncogene 1 protein, including tyrosine kinase, SH2 and SH3 domains, and plays a role in cytoskeleton rearrangement through its C-terminal F-actin and microtubule-binding sequences. This gene is expressed in both normal cells and tumor cells, and is involved in the translocation of ets variant 6 gene in leukemia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been found to encode different protein isoforms.
