Summary
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; endothelial cell development; and in utero embryonic development. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; and retina layer. Used to study cerebral cavernous malformation 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral cavernous malformation 2. Orthologous to human CCM2 (CCM2 scaffold protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

mRNA and Protein(s)

  1. NM_001190343.1 → NP_001177272.1  cerebral cavernous malformations protein 2 homolog isoform 2

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an in-frame exon in the coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 3) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.
