About RCAN2

Cytogenetic location: 6p12.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:46,220,736-46,491,970 (from NCBI)

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]
