MCOLN2 - mucolipin TRP cation channel 2 Gene
Also Known as TRPML2; TRP-ML2
Species: Homo sapiens
About MCOLN2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in lymph node (RPKM 3.6), spleen (RPKM 2.0) and 14 other tissues.
Summary
Mucolipins constitute a family of cation channel proteins with homology to the transient receptor potential superfamily. In mammals, the mucolipin family includes 3 members, MCOLN1 (MIM 605248), MCOLN2, and MCOLN3 (MIM 607400), that exhibit a common 6-membrane-spanning topology. Homologs of mammalian mucolipins exist in Drosophila and C. elegans. Mutations in the human MCOLN1 gene cause mucolipodosis IV (MIM 262650) (Karacsonyi et al., 2007 [PubMed 17662026]).[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009]
