Gene information for GCM2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9247
Official gene symbolGCM2
Full nameglial cells missing homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Aliases,GCMB,hGCMb,
Gene summaryThis gene is a homolog of the Drosophila glial cells missing gene, which is thought to act as a binary switch between neuronal and glial cell determination. The protein encoded by this gene contains a conserved N-terminal GCM motif that has DNA-binding activity. The protein is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of parathyroid development. It has been suggested that this transcription factor might mediate the effect of calcium on parathyroid hormone expression and secretion in parathyroid cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypoparathyroidism. [provided by RefSeq]
