Gene: CNN2
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene, which can bind actin, calmodulin, troponin C, and tropomyosin, may function in the structural organization of actin filaments. The encoded protein could play a role in smooth muscle contraction and cell adhesion. Several pseudogenes of this gene have been identified, and are present on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 21 and 22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3
Description of this Gene: calponin 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
