Gene: BTBD2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene binds topoisomerase I. The N-terminus contains a proline-rich region and a BTB/POZ domain (broad-complex, Tramtrack and bric a brac/Pox virus and Zinc finger), both of which are typically involved in protein-protein interactions. Subcellularly, the protein localizes to cytoplasmic bodies.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3

Description of this Gene: BTB domain containing 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
