Gene information for PPEF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5470
Official gene symbolPPEF2
Full nameprotein phosphatase, EF-hand calcium binding domain 2
Aliases,PPP7CB,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in photoreceptors and the pineal, has been suggested to play a role in the visual system. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. [provided by RefSeq]
