Structural highlights
Disease
[SEPT9_HUMAN] Neuralgic amyotrophy. A chromosomal aberration involving SEPT9/MSF is found in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML). Translocation t(11;17)(q23;q25) with KMT2A/MLL1.[1] The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[SEPT9_HUMAN] Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential). May play a role in the internalization of 2 intracellular microbial pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri.
