Gene information for FSCN2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25794
Official gene symbolFSCN2
Full namefascin homolog 2, actin-bundling protein, retinal (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)
Aliases,RFSN,RP30,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
