Crb2 - crumbs cell polarity complex component 2 Gene

Predicted to enable aspartic-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and maintenance of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; apicolateral plasma membrane; and cell junction. Predicted to be part of subapical complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 9 and ventriculomegaly - cystic kidney disease. Orthologous to human CRB2 (crumbs cell polarity complex component 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
