KERA - keratocan Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as KTN; CNA2; SLRR2B

Gene ID: 11081 | Gene type: protein coding

About KERA

Cytogenetic location: 12q21.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:91,050,491-91,058,024 (from NCBI)

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]
