FRMPD2 - FERM and PDZ domain containing 2 Gene
Also Known as PDZK4; PDZD5C; PDZK5C
Species: Homo sapiens
About FRMPD2
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 178 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.2), testis (RPKM 1.3) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a peripheral membrane protein and is located in a region of chromosome 10q that contains a segmental duplication. This copy of the gene is full-length and is in the telomeric duplicated region. Two Other more centromerically proximal copies of the gene are partial and may represent pseudogenes. This full-length gene appears to function in the establishment and maintenance of cell polarization. The protein is recruited to cell-cell junctions in an E-cadherin-dependent manner, and is selectively localized at the basolateral membrane in polarized epithelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
