Involved in flight behavior and spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Part of several cellular components, including SMN complex; SMN-Gemin2 complex; and SmD-containing SMN-Sm protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior endoderm; anterior endoderm anlage; central brain primordium; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and female germline cell. Orthologous to human GEMIN2 (gem nuclear organelle associated protein 2).
FB Description
Gemin 2 (Gem2) encodes a member of the SMN-Gemins complex and a component of the cytoplasmic U snRNP body. It is required in the motor system for viability and motor behaviour.
