STMN2 Regulator of microtubule stability. When phosphorylated by MAPK8, stabilizes microtubules and consequently controls neurite length in cortical neurons. In the developing brain, negatively regulates the rate of exit from multipolar stage and retards radial migration from the ventricular zone. Belongs to the stathmin family. Neuron specific. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
