Rp2 - retinitis pigmentosa 2 homolog

Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in post-Golgi vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Located in Golgi apparatus; microtubule organizing center; and periciliary membrane compartment. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; lung; sensory organ; and spleen. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and retinitis pigmentosa 2. Orthologous to human RP2 (RP2 activator of ARL3 GTPase).
