Gene information for STIM2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57620
Official gene symbolSTIM2
Full namestromal interaction molecule 2
Aliases,FLJ39527,KIAA1482,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the stromal interaction molecule (STIM) family and likely arose, along with related family member STIM1, from a common ancestral gene. The encoded protein functions to regulate calcium concentrations in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in the activation of plasma membrane Orai Ca(2+) entry channels. This gene initiates translation from a non-AUG (UUG) start site. A signal peptide is cleaved from the resulting protein. Multiple transcript variants result from alternative splicing.
