Gene: ACTRT2

Alternate names for this Gene: ARPM2|ARPT2|Arp-T2|HARPM2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this intronless gene belongs to the actin family. Studies have shown that this protein may be involved in cytoskeletal organization similar to other cytoplasmic actin-related protein (ARP) subfamily members. Antibody raised against the human protein has been used to detect the protein by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy, demonstrating its specific synthesis in the testis, late in spermatid differentiation, and its localization in the calyx.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.32

Description of this Gene: actin related protein T2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
