STC2 - stanniocalcin 2 Gene
Also Known as STC-2; STCRP
Species: Homo sapiens
About STC2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 260 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 12.8), thyroid (RPKM 5.0) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a secreted, homodimeric glycoprotein that is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and may have autocrine or paracrine functions. The encoded protein has 10 of its 15 cysteine residues conserved among stanniocalcin family members and is phosphorylated by Casein Kinase 2 exclusively on its serine residues. Its C-terminus contains a cluster of histidine residues which may interact with metal ions. The protein may play a role in the regulation of renal and intestinal calcium and phosphate transport, cell metabolism, or cellular calcium/phosphate homeostasis. Constitutive overexpression of human stanniocalcin 2 in mice resulted in pre- and postnatal growth restriction, reduced bone and skeletal muscle growth, and organomegaly. Expression of this gene is induced by estrogen and altered in some breast cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
