EYA2 EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2

Gene ID: 2139, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EAB1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may be post-translationally modified and may play a role in eye development. A similar protein in mice can act as a transcriptional activator. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length natures of all of these variants have not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
