CRB2 crumbs cell polarity complex component 2

Gene ID: 286204, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FSGS9; VMCKD

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are components of the Crumbs cell polarity complex. In mammals, members of this family are thought to play a role in many cellular processes in early embryonic development. A similar protein in Drosophila determines apicobasal polarity in embryonic epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 9, and with ventriculomegaly with cystic kidney disease. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
