SUN2

Plasma proteins, Transporters

Intracellular, Membrane (different isoforms)

Cell type enhanced (NK-cells)

Low immune cell specificity

Low cell line specificity

Core component of the LINC complex which is composed of inner nuclear membrane SUN domain-containing proteins coupled to outer nuclear membrane KASH domain-containing nesprins. SUN and KASH domain-containing proteins seem to bind each other promiscuously; however, differentially expression of LINC complex constituents is giving rise to specific assemblies. At least SUN1/2-containing core LINC complexes are proposed to be hexameric composed of three protomers of each KASH and SUN domain-containing protein. Interacts with SYNE2; the SUN2:SYNE2/KASH2 LINC complex is a heterohexamer; the homotrimeric cloverleave-like conformation of the SUN domain is a prerequisite for LINC complex formation in which three separate SYNE2/KASH2 peptides bind at the interface of adjacent SUN domains. Component of a probable SUN2:KASH5 LINC complex. Interacts with SYNE1 and SYNE3; probably forming respective LINC complexes. Interacts with A-type lamin. Interaction with lamins B1 and C is hardly detectable (By similarity). Interacts with EMD and RAB5A. Interacts with TMEM43 and TMEM201.
