CSRP2 cysteine and glycine rich protein 2

Gene ID: 1466, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CRP2; LMO5; SmLIM

Summary

CSRP2 is a member of the CSRP family of genes, encoding a group of LIM domain proteins, which may be involved in regulatory processes important for development and cellular differentiation. CRP2 contains two copies of the cysteine-rich amino acid sequence motif (LIM) with putative zinc-binding activity, and may be involved in regulating ordered cell growth. Other genes in the family include CSRP1 and CSRP3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
