Dsc2 - desmocollin 2 Gene

About Dsc2

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in bundle of His cell-Purkinje myocyte adhesion involved in cell communication; regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction; and regulation of ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to starvation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; cytoplasmic vesicle; and intercalated disc. Predicted to be active in desmosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11. Orthologous to human DSC2 (desmocollin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
