Septin 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEPT12 gene.[1]
Function
This gene encodes a guanine-nucleotide binding protein and member of the septin family of cytoskeletalGTPases. Septins play important roles in cytokinesis, exocytosis, embryonic development, and membrane dynamics. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[1]
