KERA - keratocan Gene
Also Known as KTN; CNA2; SLRR2B
Species: Homo sapiens
About KERA
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 203 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2).[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
