Gene: STIM2
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the stromal interaction molecule (STIM) family and likely arose, along with related family member STIM1, from a common ancestral gene. The encoded protein functions to regulate calcium concentrations in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in the activation of plasma membrane Orai Ca(2+) entry channels. This gene initiates translation from a non-AUG (UUG) start site. A signal peptide is cleaved from the resulting protein. Multiple transcript variants result from alternative splicing.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4p15.2
Description of this Gene: stromal interaction molecule 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
