Lim2 - lens intrinsic membrane protein 2

Predicted to be a structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in vesicle. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in embryo; head; inter-parietal bone primordium; and lens. Used to study cataract and cataract 19 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 19 multiple types. Orthologous to several human genes including LIM2 (lens intrinsic membrane protein 2).
