Gene information for CASQ2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID845
Official gene symbolCASQ2
Full namecalsequestrin 2 (cardiac muscle)
Aliases,FLJ26321,FLJ93514,PDIB2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene specifies the cardiac muscle family member of the calsequestrin family. Calsequestrin is localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle cells. The protein is a calcium binding protein that stores calcium for muscle function. Mutations in this gene cause stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also referred to as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (CPVT2), a disease characterized by bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that may lead to cardiac arrest.
