GeneID: 6102 Human RP2

Swiss-port # O75695 Human Protein XRP2

Gene Symbol RP2
Gene Full Name retinitis pigmentosa 2 (X-linked recessive)
Background The RP2 locus has been implicated as one cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. The predicted gene product shows homology with human cofactor C, a protein involved in the ultimate step of beta-tubulin folding. Progressive retinal degeneration may therefore be due to the accumulation of incorrectly-folded photoreceptor or neuron-specific tubulin isoforms followed by progressive cell death [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) involved in trafficking between the Golgi and the ciliary membrane. Involved in localization of proteins, such as NPHP3, to the cilium membrane by inducing hydrolysis of GTP ARL3, leading to the release of UNC119 (or UNC119B). Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for tubulin in concert with tubulin-specific chaperone C, but does not enhance tubulin heterodimerization. Acts as guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor towards ADP-ribosylation factor-like proteins. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, cilium. Note=Detected predominantly at the plasma membrane of rod and cone photoreceptors. Not detected in the nucleus. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 40 kDa
PTM Myristoylated on Gly-2; which may be required for membrane targeting.

Palmitoylated on Cys-3; which may be required for plasma membrane targeting (Probable). Mutation of Cys-3 targets the protein to internal membranes. [UniProt]
