TTYH2 tweety family member 2

Gene ID: 94015, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C17orf29

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel, and may play a role in kidney tumorigenesis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
