About FSCN2

Cytogenetic location: 17q25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:81,515,062-81,537,130 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 259 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
