Human Gene TPCN2 (uc001oos.2)
  Description: Homo sapiens two pore segment channel 2 (TPCN2), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_139075): This gene encodes a putative cation-selective ion channel with two repeats of a six-transmembrane-domain. The protein localizes to lysosomal membranes and enables nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) -induced calcium ion release from lysosome-related stores. This ubiquitously expressed gene has elevated expression in liver and kidney. Two common nonsynonymous SNPs in this gene strongly associate with blond versus brown hair pigmentation.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data because no single transcript was available for the full length of the gene. The extent of this transcript is supported by transcript alignments.

  ID: TPC2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Two pore calcium channel protein 2; AltName: Full=Voltage-dependent calcium channel protein TPC2;
FUNCTION: Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) receptor that may function as one of the major voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VDCC) across the lysosomal membrane. May be involved in smooth muscle contraction.
SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with LRRK2.
INTERACTION: Self; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-5239949, EBI-5239949; Q9ULQ1:TPCN1; NbExp=9; IntAct=EBI-5239949, EBI-5239895;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Note=Only the acidic lysosomal fraction is sensitive to NAADP (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Expressed at high level in liver and kidney.
DOMAIN: Each of the two internal repeats contains five hydrophobic transmembrane segments (S1, S2, S3, S5, S6) and one positively charged transmembrane segment (S4). S4 segments probably represent the voltage-sensor and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position (By similarity).
PTM: N-glycosylated (By similarity).
POLYMORPHISM: Genetic variants in TPCN2 define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 10 (SHEP10) [MIM:612267]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. Two pore calcium channel subfamily.

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.
