| Official gene symbol | | FSCN2 |
| Full name | | fascin homolog 2, actin-bundling protein, retinal (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) |
| Aliases | | ,RFSN,RP30, |
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
