Summary: This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein belonging to the penta-EF-hand protein family. Calcium binding is important for homodimerization and for conformational changes required for binding to other protein partners. This gene product participates in T cell receptor-, Fas-, and glucocorticoid-induced programmed cell death. In mice deficient for this gene product, however, apoptosis was not blocked suggesting this gene product is functionally redundant. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
Annotation information: Note: ALG2 (Gene ID: 85365) and PDCD6 (Gene ID: 10016) share the ALG2 symbol/alias in common. ALG2 is a widely used alternative name for programmed cell death 6 (PDCD6), whose synonym is apoptosis-linked gene-2. This can be confused with the official symbol for ALG2, alpha-1,3/1,6-mannosyltransferase (ALG2). [31 May 2018]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
