Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Fascin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FSCN2 gene.[5][6]
This gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[6]
