Gene: TTYH2

Alternate names for this Gene: C17orf29

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel, and may play a role in kidney tumorigenesis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.1

Description of this Gene: tweety family member 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
