Gene:
tweety homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
194836
Symbol:
TTYH2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel, and may play a role in kidney tumorigenesis. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
