Gene: RP2
Alternate names for this Gene: DELXp11.3|NM23-H10|NME10|TBCCD2|XRP2
Gene Summary: The RP2 locus has been implicated as one cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. The predicted gene product shows homology with human cofactor C, a protein involved in the ultimate step of beta-tubulin folding. Progressive retinal degeneration may therefore be due to the accumulation of incorrectly-folded photoreceptor or neuron-specific tubulin isoforms followed by progressive cell death
Gene is located in Chromosome: X
Location in Chromosome : Xp11.3
Description of this Gene: RP2 activator of ARL3 GTPase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
