Gene information for RP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6102
Official gene symbolRP2
Full nameretinitis pigmentosa 2 (X-linked recessive)
Aliases,DELXp11.3,KIAA0215,NME10,TBCCD2,XRP2,
Gene summaryThe RP2 locus has been implicated as one cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. The predicted gene product shows homology with human cofactor C, a protein involved in the ultimate step of beta-tubulin folding. Progressive retinal degeneration may therefore be due to the accumulation of incorrectly-folded photoreceptor or neuron-specific tubulin isoforms followed by progressive cell death [provided by RefSeq]
