Gene Symbol Lim2
Protein Name lens intrinsic membrane protein 2
Synonyms
Species Mus musculus
Ensembl Protein ENSMUSP00000004732
InnateDB Gene IDBG-176792 (Lim2)
Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
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.
Subcellular Localization Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Disease Associations Note=Defects in Lim2 are the cause of the cataractous mouse mutant with total opacity of lens 3 (To3). Mice heterozygous or homozygous for the To3 mutation have total opacity of the lens with a dense cataract. In addition, the To3/To3 homozygotes exhibit microphthalmia, abnormally small eyes.
