Anti-RAMP/ZMYM2 Antibody Picoband®

Zinc finger MYM-type protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZMYM2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein that may act as a transcription factor. The encoded protein may be part of a BHC histone deacetylase complex. Translocation of this gene with the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 gene (FGFR1) results in a fusion gene, which may be a cause of stem cell leukemia lymphoma syndrome (SCLL) . Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Solute carrier family 12 member 5; Electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransporter 2; K-Cl cotransporter 2; hKCC2; Neuronal K-Cl cotransporter; SLC12A5; KCC2; KIAA1176

Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport in mature neurons and is required for neuronal Cl- homeostasis. As major extruder of intracellular chloride, it establishes the low neuronal Cl- levels required for chloride influx after binding of GABA-A and glycine to their receptors, with subsequent hyperpolarization and neuronal inhibition. Involved in the regulation of dendritic spine formation and maturation.
