Target Species
Human
Target Name
LIM2
Target Full Name
Lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein
Target Function
Present in the thicker 16-17 nm junctions of mammalian lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. Acts as a receptor for calmodulin. May play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis.
Target Involvement
Cataract, multiple types 19 (CTRCT19)
Target Subcellular Location
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Target Protein Families
PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family
Target Tissue Specificity
Eye lens specific.
Target Synonyms
LIM2; Lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein; MP18; MP19; MP20
Target Background
This gene encodes an eye lens-specific protein found at the junctions of lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. It acts as a receptor for calmodulin, and may play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cataract formation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
