RP2 RP2 activator of ARL3 GTPase

Gene ID: 6102, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: XRP2; NME10; TBCCD2; NM23-H10; DELXp11.3

Summary

The RP2 locus has been implicated as one cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. The predicted gene product shows homology with human cofactor C, a protein involved in the ultimate step of beta-tubulin folding. Progressive retinal degeneration may therefore be due to the accumulation of incorrectly-folded photoreceptor or neuron-specific tubulin isoforms followed by progressive cell death [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
