Septin 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEPT12 gene .[ 5]
This gene encodes a guanine-nucleotide binding protein and member of the septin family of cytoskeletal GTPases . Septins play important roles in cytokinesis , exocytosis , embryonic development, and membrane dynamics. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[ 5]
