Gene information for ATP2A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID488
Official gene symbolATP2A2
Full nameATPase, Ca++ transporting, cardiac muscle, slow twitch 2
Aliases,ATP2B,DAR,DD,DKFZp686P0211,FLJ20293,FLJ38063,MGC45367,SERCA2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of the SERCA Ca(2+)-ATPases, which are intracellular pumps located in the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticula of muscle cells. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the translocation of calcium from the cytosol into the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen, and is involved in regulation of the contraction/relaxation cycle. Mutations in this gene cause Darier-White disease, also known as keratosis follicularis, an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells and abnormal keratinization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
