Description: Homo sapiens calponin 2 (CNN2), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_004368): The protein encoded by this gene, which can bind actin, calmodulin, troponin C, and tropomyosin, may function in the structural organization of actin filaments. The encoded protein could play a role in smooth muscle contraction and cell adhesion. Several pseudogenes of this gene have been identified, and are present on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 21 and 22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr19:1,026,298-1,039,064 Size: 12,767 Total Exon Count: 7 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr19:1,026,661-1,037,899 Size: 11,239 Coding Exon Count: 7
ID:CNN2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Calponin-2; AltName: Full=Calponin H2, smooth muscle; AltName: Full=Neutral calponin; FUNCTION: Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, calmodulin, troponin C and tropomyosin. The interaction of calponin with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Heart and smooth muscle. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calponin family. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 calponin-like repeats. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CH (calponin-homology) domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
