Fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FEZ2 gene.[5][6]

This gene is an ortholog of the C. elegans unc-76 gene, which is necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles. Other orthologs include the rat gene that encodes zygin II, which can bind to synaptotagmin.[6]

Interactions

[edit]

FEZ2 has been shown to interact with Protein kinase Mζ.[7]
