ATP6V0A2 ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit a2

Gene ID: 23545, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: A2; RTF; TJ6; WSS; a2V; ARCL; J6B7; STV1; TJ6M; TJ6S; VPH1; ARCL2A; ATP6A2; ATP6N1D

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the vacuolar ATPase (v-ATPase), an heteromultimeric enzyme that is present in intracellular vesicles and in the plasma membrane of specialized cells, and which is essential for the acidification of diverse cellular components. V-ATPase is comprised of a membrane peripheral V(1) domain for ATP hydrolysis, and an integral membrane V(0) domain for proton translocation. The subunit encoded by this gene is a component of the V(0) domain. Mutations in this gene are a cause of both cutis laxa type II and wrinkly skin syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
