CNN2 - calponin 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About CNN2
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 147 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 70.8), appendix (RPKM 62.8) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene, which can bind actin, Calmodulin, troponin C, and tropomyosin, may function in the structural organization of actin filaments. The encoded protein could play a role in smooth muscle contraction and cell adhesion. Several pseudogenes of this gene have been identified, and are present on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 21 and 22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
