DGCR2

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


The DGCR2 gene encodes the protein integral membrane protein DGCR2/IDD in humans.[5][6][7]

Quick Facts DGCR2, Identifiers ...

Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects (notably DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects) classified under the acronym CATCH 22. The DGCR2 gene encodes a novel putative adhesion receptor protein, which could play a role in neural crest cells migration, a process which has been proposed to be altered in DiGeorge syndrome.[7] DGCR2 is thought to interact with the Reelin complex to regulate corticogenesis.[8]
