CLIP2 CAP-Gly domain containing linker protein 2

Gene ID: 7461, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLIP; CYLN2; WSCR3; WSCR4; WBSCR3; WBSCR4; CLIP-115

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of cytoplasmic linker proteins, which have been proposed to mediate the interaction between specific membranous organelles and microtubules. This protein was found to associate with both microtubules and an organelle called the dendritic lamellar body. This gene is hemizygously deleted in Williams syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
