Target Details for RP2

Target: RP2 (Retinitis Pigmentosa 2 (X-Linked Recessive) (RP2))

Alternative Name: RP2

Background:

Synonyms: Protein XRP2, RP2

Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous. Expressed in the rod and cone photoreceptors, extending from the tips of the outer segment (OS) through the inner segment (IS) and outer nuclear layer (ONL) and into the synaptic terminals of the outer plexiform layer (ONL). Also detected in the bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells in the inner nuclear layer (INL), extending to the inner plexiform layer (IPL) and though the ganglion cell layer (GCL) and into the nerve fiber layer (NFL) (at protein level).

Background: Protein XRP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RP2 gene. It is mapped to Xp11.3. 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.The RP2 protein is also involved in regulating the function and extension of outer segment of cone photoreceptors in mice.
