Facts about [F-actin]-monooxygenase MICAL2.
Acts as a key regulator of the SRF signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum: mediates oxidation and subsequent depolymerization of nuclear actin, resulting in increase MKL1/MRTF-A existence in the nucleus and encourage SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A-dependent gene transcription. Doesn't activate SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A through RhoA (PubMed:24440334).
