DRG2 Proteins and Enzymes

The DRG2 gene encodes the developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2, a name derived from the fact that it sharessignificant similarity to known GTP-binding proteins. DRG2 was identified because it is expressed in normalfibroblasts but not in SV40-transformed fibroblasts. Read-through transcripts containing this gene and a downstreamgene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. This gene is located within theSmith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. (provided by RefSeq)
