DIRC2

Identity

Hugo	DIRC2
Location	3q21

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.

Implicated in

Entity	t(2;3)(q35;q21) and hereditary renal cell cancer.
Disease	Familial renal cell cancer.
Cytogenetics	Disruption of the gene because of the t(2;3) translocation.
