DNA/RNA |
Description | The gene spans 73 kb, 9 exons. The first exon and 5-prime UTR contain a CpG island. The gene contains 12 transmembrane segments. It contains a conserved motif, shared with the major facilitator superfamily of transporters, between membrane-spanning domains 2 and 3, and a proline-rich region between membrane-spanning domains 6 and 7. It also contains a putative N-glycosylation site and several putative phosphorylation sites. |
Protein |
Description | 478 amino acids |
Expression | Expression in pancreas, kidney (proximal tubular cells of the kidney), skeletal muscle, liver, lung, placenta, brain and heart. |
Function | see below, may be a transporter |
Homology | Computer predictions of the putative DIRC2 protein showed significant homology to different members of the major facilitator superfamily of transporters. DIRC2 shares 43% similarity with the human homolog of feline leukemia virus type C receptor (FLVXR), which has been classified as a major facilitator superfamily transporter, and over 85% homology with Dirc2 from monkey, pig, dog, and mouse. |
