CIB2 calcium and integrin binding family member 2

Gene ID: 10518, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KIP2; USH1J; DFNB48

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to that of KIP/CIB, calcineurin B, and calmodulin. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding regulatory protein that interacts with DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunits (DNA-PKcs), and it is involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Mutations in this gene cause deafness, autosomal recessive, 48 (DFNB48), and also Usher syndrome 1J (USH1J). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
