CACNG2 - calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 2 Gene
Also Known as MRD10
Species: Homo sapiens
About CACNG2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 264 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward brain (RPKM 5.4).
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA Receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. The AMPA subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors are ligand gated ion channels that are typically activated by glutamate released from presynaptic neuron terminals and mediate fast neurotransmission in excitatory synapses. TARPs thus play an important role in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Mutations in this gene cause an autosomal dominant form of cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
