Gene information for OPTN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10133
Official gene symbolOPTN
Full nameoptineurin
Aliases,FIP2,GLC1E,HIP7,HYPL,NRP,TFIIIA-INTP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the coiled-coil containing protein optineurin. Optineurin may play a role in normal-tension glaucoma and adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma. Optineurin interacts with adenovirus E3-14.7K protein and may utilize tumor necrosis factor-alpha or Fas-ligand pathways to mediate apoptosis, inflammation or vasoconstriction. Optineurin may also function in cellular morphogenesis and membrane trafficking, vesicle trafficking, and transcription activation through its interactions with the RAB8, huntingtin, and transcription factor IIIA proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
