FEZ2
Fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FEZ2 gene.[1][2]
This gene is an ortholog of the C. elegans unc-76 gene, which is necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles. Other orthologs include the rat gene that encodes zygin II, which can bind to synaptotagmin.[2]
