NCIt definition : Human KATNAL2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 18q21.1 and is approximately
102 kb in length. This allele, which encodes katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit
A-like 2 protein, is involved in both ATP hydrolysis and microtubule depolymerization.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the KATNAL2 gene may be associated with autism. (Nature. 2012; 485:237-241.);
