PPEF2 - protein phosphatase with EF-hand domain 2 Gene
Also Known as PPP7CB
Species: Homo sapiens
About PPEF2
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 289 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein Phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein Phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in photoreceptors and the pineal, has been suggested to play a role in the visual system. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
