RCAN2 - regulator of calcineurin 2 Gene
Also Known as CSP2; RCN2; MCIP2; ZAKI4; ZAKI-4; DSCR1L1
Species: Homo sapiens
About RCAN2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 155 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in heart (RPKM 64.4), brain (RPKM 36.0) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the regulator of Calcineurin (RCAN) protein family. These proteins play a role in many physiological processes by binding to the catalytic domain of Calcineurin A, inhibiting calcineurin-mediated nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFATC1. Expression of this gene in skin fibroblasts is upregulated by thyroid hormone, and the encoded protein may also play a role in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
