RCN2 reticulocalbin 2

Gene ID: 5955, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: E6BP; ERC55; ERC-55; TCBP49

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-binding protein located in the lumen of the ER. The protein contains six conserved regions with similarity to a high affinity Ca(+2)-binding motif, the EF-hand. This gene maps to the same region as type 4 Bardet-Biedl syndrome, suggesting a possible causative role for this gene in the disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
