The function of VASH2 (vasohibin 2, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000143494) is as follows. Tyrosine carboxypeptidase that removes the C-terminal tyrosine residue of alpha-tubulin, thereby regulating microtubule dynamics and function (PubMed:29146869). Critical for spindle function and accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis since microtubule detyrosination regulates mitotic spindle length and postioning (PubMed:31171830). Acts as an activator of angiogenesis: expressed in infiltrating mononuclear cells in the sprouting front to promote angiogenesis (PubMed:19204325). Plays a role in axon formation (PubMed:31235911). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19204325, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29146869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31235911}.
