In the developing brain NOVA2 directs neuronal migration by toggling a Dab1 RNA switch in reelin signaling [#5] and drives a cell-type-specific axon-guidance splicing program required for corpus callosum formation and motoneuron outgrowth, phenotypes absent in Nova1-null mice [#8, #11]; this splicing regulation is coupled to intron retention that can sequester the splicing factor PTBP2 [#11], and NOVA2 additionally promotes circRNA biogenesis by binding YCAY clusters in flanking introns to enhance backsplicing [#13]. Beyond the nervous system, NOVA2 is expressed in endothelial cells where it controls vascular lumen formation via Par-complex splicing [#7], constrains Erk/Mapk signaling to time lymphatic specification through Prox1 [#10], and generates pro-angiogenic soluble L1CAM (L1-\\u0394TM) by skipping the L1CAM transmembrane exon, acting through FGFR1 signaling [#9]. NOVA2 expression is itself regulated transcriptionally by STAT3/p300-driven H3K27 acetylation and post-transcriptionally by m6A-dependent mRNA decay [#16, #21].
